That's cool although angle metal seems like overkill to divert water around a window. The Window was leaking before? Was it not sealed properly? Are the other windows in the camper flashed/sealed differently to avoid water intrusion? Was the water accessing through the operable separation of the surfaces of the window or the seal of the window to the camper?
In any case glad you stopped the leak!
The dinette window is sealed the same as all the other windows. None of the others have been problematic. I think one possibility is that the flood of water was flowing down the window over the weep holes at the bottom of the window frame. It may have been able to back up in through there to the inside but I never noticed it happen. I did notice the bottom of the window frame had an accumulation of water in it which I figured to be condensation a couple times.
This window had been sealed a couple times and it continually failed possibly from body flex or unknown other forces. It has passed the test of a few good rains now without failure with the drip rail so I'm happy. This is the second location on the TC where all other attempts to stop a water leak failed and the aluminum angle drip rail resolved the leak problem as yet permanently in the first case and so far so good in this case.
If it does fail, I'll be back to talk about it. Full disclosure...
