does anyone have a suggestion to stop the water dripping over the doors of my Thor coach. I purchased gutter extensions but because pf the caulking at the end of the drip rail they will not fit on.

As suggested clip a wooden clothespin at the end of each gutter.

Up on the roof. near the edge (Before it starts to drop off. lay a inverted "V" of Dicor non-self leveling caulk.. Just lay a bead the peak of the inverted V is above the center of the door and the ends a few inches either side

Make it fairly flat (You only need about 15 Degrees off inline)

Hopefully the water will hit it and run off the ends of the V on either side of the door.

I do not currently have THAT problem.. YEt..
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

Two doors with this problem is a clue that it might be a C.
In my limited experience, it is VERY difficult to move the dripping water during a rain event so that it does not hit the inside of the door when it is opened. The "standard" gutter extension aren't enough.

I thought I was going to extend the little gutters maybe a foot farther forward and then put the diverters on the end of that. But I sold it and my new one doesn't have that problem (A).

Is it dripping from a seam in the gutter? If so, a small piece of Eternabond tape will seal it up.

Our awning, either rolled up or open stops any drips from over our door.

When leveling, tip slightly to the other side. Will help some.
