"Drain Path" for rain gutters

I have those plastic rain gutter ends on the side of my TT. During the summer the air conditioner continually drops water from the front rain gutter. I am looking for a way to form a path from the gutter to the ground so we don't get mud splatter all over everything. Any ideas. I was going to just run a vinyl piece of tubing but searched all over the net and can't find any thin wall tubing with a 7/8" i.d.

Pool noodles work well, for us.

How about a rain chain?

What is a rain chain?

It doesn't have to be fancy or anything, just 10 feet or so of the cheapest chain you can find at the hardware store. Attach it to the gutter spout with a split ring and a hook, and it can be part of your normal set-up/tear-down routine. The chain provides a path for the water to get to the ground via some scientific principle that I've since forgotten. You can attach the other end to the ground with a spike or just put a rock on top of it so it doesn't move.

Either jack the front up a little higher, or level the trailer with the curb side a little higher. That will cause the water to drain to the back or non entry side.
