Useless gutter spouts

I also have black streaks running down my rear picture window area on my 5th wheel trailer... I think one could solve the problem by placing a long 1/2-inch angle strip across the roof near the rear edge. You can use Dicor Sealant (No screws) to hold the aluminum angle strip in place. This would route the run-off water to each side of the roof to run off using those add-on spouts you are referring too.

I purchased the aluminum angle strips but never got around to installing it... haha

I got the idea from my OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer roof area which already has this J-strip rain gutter installed like shown in this GOOGLE on-line photo.

I don't have that problem with my current camper and the factory installed gutter spouts, but my previous camper did. I replaced the short spouts with longer ones, and never had the problem of streaking again, if so, it was very minor. Worked well for 8 years.

Spoken like a true entrepreneur. You're good. :)

We put the gutter extensions on ours and they work very well. Anything that gets the water out a little farther would do the trick.
