gutter
I would like to divert rainwater/condensation water from the back of my fifth wheel. Has any one easily fabricated any type of gutter that i could somehow add to my camper without drilling holes? My wife does not like it dripping down the back of the camper. I'm open to any ideas as i have none. Thanks in advance. 20 degrees this morning in ohio, but season is just around the corner. Happy camping everyone!!!

This is what I use. Camco gutter extensions. I don't have any water running straight off the back.

How about if you adjust your levelers so that it drains off the front?

Yep... get these. I had 'em on my last TT and they worked great. Don't need 'em on my current trailer.

Thanks everyone for the advice. But my problem is her rolling off the back of the RV not the side. I do have the gutter extensions on both sides but this is rolling off the back and down the back of the RV. I thought about adjusting the level, but it’s already slightly tilted for runoff. And the roof slopes toward the back. So what I’m looking for is someway to Divert that water that’s dripping over the back of the RV.

Here is what aircraft do to keep water run out of entrance (strip above door). It's just a 90 deg piece that is mounted on an angle. It isn't very large and though it is installed on the aircraft with rivets I would think 5M tape for an RV would suffice. I did one similar on a previous MH that had a driver side door and it worked out fine. Just one way.

My 5’r has those little gutters, but condensate from the air conditioner would sometimes dribble off the backside. Added a bead of decor to the roof so it diverts to either side gutter.

I use the gutter extensions shown above with a plastic clothes pin attached to extend even further. Gives about 3"-4" off the sides of the camper. Using a bead of dycor along the back edge of the camper to build up a edge to force the water to the sides seems like the least obtrusive and easiest way to prevent the back edge run off.
