Gutter Extensions
OK, got the extensions today. Hope the pictures tell the story. Basically I cut the key off then put a couple of wraps of electrical tape on the shaft that goes into the awning rail slot. The tape helps centers up the extension in the awning rail, also cut the corner a little just for looks. Could do a little more streamlining with a Dremel if you care to. I will paint them black before installing. The piece of wood is to hold the extension in place while the RTV set's up. The slot in the extension lines up well with the awning gutter.

Grant nice job! just to be clear, you have a new Adventurer right? The part that you put the black tape on slides into the RV's rail? What did you use to secure them? some kind of sealant?
Thanks
Ray

raycyn778 Yes we have a new Adventurer, the tape goes on the shaft that goes in the awning rail and I plan on using black RTV to secure it.
The shaft is a little smaller than the awning rail so the tape makes is fit better.

After a little research looks like 3M 4200 would be the best sealant.

I ordered these for a 2008 a few days ago and they came today. With a little filing and fitting I have the passenger side installed. I did apply an adhesive and secure with a #8 stainless pan head screw to the roof just in front of the gutter. Caulked any places it looked needed and will paint the white gutter extension to match the motorhome paint. I have nearly a full bottle of touch up paint that came with the MH. Thanks for the heads up on these extensions, they do fit fine with a little filing and fitting.

A follow up to my 8/1 install. In light to heavy rain the extensions do deflect the water flow mostly away from the side window. But my big complaint was the morning dew dripping down the glass. Well, except for one rainy morning I have still had the morning dew dripping down the side glass. Every morning I have watched close to see where the water comes from and later in the day when all is dry I apply a little caulk to the the area. This morning again I have dew dripping down the side glass. Again looking to see where it's coming from it appears to be coming from the awning slot. The morning dew has always seemed to me to make the mess on the windows worst than a rain. So the problem is still with me even with the extension having a very good fit and being caulked. Are others installing these extensions on Winnebagos having the same dew problem ???

Anyone know if these will work for a Vista 31BE?
