Damaged Gutter Spouts

Has anyone ever had a Gutter Spout damaged while towing your travel trailer or when another vehicle got too close to your travel trailer?
  • We have had the gutter extensions damaged from tree branches when backing in a CG site. Annoying and expensive for a little piece of plastic.

    Did the tree branches damage your travel trailer?
  • Nope, maybe replace them with spring loaded clothes pins. If they fall off they are only pennies to replace.
  • No, but can you expand on another vehicle getting too close? Is that what happened to yours? That sounds like a scary situation.
  • No damage to our TT! Just the gutter extension. Since they come in a pack of 4. We now have spares.
  • They sell them at camping world. As these things are only inches long, I shudder to think about a vechile getting close enough to damage them.

    Welcome to the RV world.

    1. Be thankful your not as tall as some 5th wheels.

    2. Keep a eye out for not only your sides but also the top.

    Might find it helpful when backing into established site to follow the tire tracks already there. Usually people before you did the tree trimming.
