These are the ones I installed:

https://www.amazon.com/Camco-42462-W...6178159&sr=8-2

$250 for installation is a rip-off IMO. Should take about 10-15 minutes tops for a professional. Took me a few minutes longer than that working VERY slowly and methodically (and doing other stuff along the way).

Jayco installs the "rain gutters" upside down on their motorhomes so to better attach the awning.


Camper Bob do you have the upside down gutters on yours? Precepts and Alante's do.

Honestly, I don't remember. I think they're both right side up?

I DO remember being absolutely petrified of what I was going to find on the passenger side. There was a very faint rust stain coming down the fiberglass at the end of that gutter. I had prepared for the worst; a leak that was causing a screw to rust. Turns out, the factory had "lost" a screw and it was just sitting there in the gutter. It had rusted somewhat, and the water would pick up a little of the rust while running off and left the stain on my front cap. I breathed a HEAVY sigh of relief when I found that screw!! I inspected the seal where the gutter was attached, and it was intact. I also examined that transition to help plan the installation of Eternabond along there, as well as over my other seals on the roof (still on the to do list).

Still can't imagine how it stayed up there for so long! I can't remember exactly when I found it, but it had stayed up there for several trips plus the trip from the factory!

Now that I think back on it, I'm pretty sure they're both "right side up"?

ETA: I'm SERIOUSLY considering installing slide toppers which is one reason I did not install gutter extensions on the rear. My rig has the gutters with the channel to accept an awning. I'll probably end up removing the front extension on my rig just to make it easier to slide the awning in from the front instead of having to slide it all the way from the rear. Dunno about that yet...
