Never seen a 'downspout' on an RV but there is a first time for everything I guess.
I had thought to install 1" PVC tubing at the drain ends of the two rear gutter ends and run the tubing down the back corners of the TC. The gutters now drain out directly onto the top of the rear jack motor housings causing lots of splatter. Not good placement but that's were the two items intersect in function.
With tubing downspouts you could use the water for your morning coffee...lol Rainwater makes good coffee water. I've used it more than once.
In fact I collect rainwater from the shop and garage roof in 350 gallon totes. Not because I'm 'green', because out well water is death on anything with a finish on it, loaded with calcium.
I collect the rainwater and use it in my pressure washer and suds bucket to wash the vehicles and farm equipment with.
Again, very nice camper. Always have liked S&S campers.
