Rain gutter solution?

11 Jun.,2025

 

Has anyone come up with or found a way to create a rain gutter system to prevent water from running off the front of the camper directly onto the back door, and into the cab when door is open? This was brought up in the accessory request thread but wondering if someone had a mod to fix it? Thanks

Found the post from TW [here].

Unfortunately, it was just a discussion on materials and not on application.

Been trying to figure out how to use something like that for a bit now and haven’t quite figured it out.

based on the lack of convo on this topic, i’m doubting GFC (or any owner) has put much thought into.

I built platforms in my driveway out of 3/4” 4’x6’ stall mat from TSC cut into 2’x2’ sections. Raises the front by 2.25”. Looks pretty dumb.

Gives a decent slope to the rear though. Hopefully this helps it drain to the rear instead of onto the rear door.

That said, if someone comes up with a decent solution for a rain gutter, I’m in. @GZilaDesigns, new product perhaps?

So I tried numerous different types of plastic trim pieces and other ideas before landing here with this idea. I’ve been running it now for probably 3-4 months and have not had any water dripping down into the cab when the rear door is open. I know it doesn’t look great when compared to the nice machined aluminum of the GFC but it keeps water from dripping on my 1-year old in her car seat so I’ll keep running it for now.

Details:
I ordered a piece of aluminum from an online supplier and got mismatched length legs. I believe I did 3” on one side and 4” on the other. I also added a piece of adhevise trim to the part under the camper overhang because I found water would run off the back edge of the gutter if not. I drilled two holes at different heights to angle the gutter downward toward rear of truck and then used some plastic spacers to leave a small gap between camper extrusion and gutter for water to fall down in.

Yes, I have found it to work to alleviate the excessive dripping into the cab of my truck. It is not as effective when parked on non-level ground but still works to a degree. I know it looks pretty bad but I think if you had access to CNC machine or laser to make the piece look more appealing that would be perfect.
