I installed a set of these Camco gutter spouts (Style: With Gutter Spouts) at all 4 corners. I prefer these over the gutter extensions - which just slip on.
After I had the roof replaced it had short, stubby, gutter spouts and I did not like how the rain ran down the side of the cabover.
I removed the screw at the end of the gutter track,
removed the old spout,
lifted the end of the gutter track just enough to clean out behind it a little bit,
added sufficient amount of sealant,
inserted the long gutter spout behind the track,
and reinstalled the screw at the end of the gutter track. I like the idea of the spout being screwed in place.
I wanted long gutter spouts because in a heavy rain it will perform like in the below picture (from amazon). In a lighter rain the water will actually wrap under the spout and travel up the underside of the spout for a quarter of an inch or so, before dropping to the ground. I wanted gutter spouts that were long enough to allow this to happen without the water touching the side of the cabover.
Yes, it's not a look that I prefer... but IMO this is a case of function over form.
