water dripping over doors

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.
  • When leveling, tip slightly to the other side. Will help some.
  • Our awning, either rolled up or open stops any drips from over our door.
  • Is it dripping from a seam in the gutter? If so, a small piece of Eternabond tape will seal it up.
  • 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).

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