COVERS AND GUTTER EXTENSIONS

[DRM796]

What do you do to prevent the gutter extensions from poking a whole in a cover? If the answer is to take them off, then how do they come off? Has anybody tried putting tennis balls over the end of them?

Thanks

You don't put a hole in the ball use a razor knife and cut an X shove the extension in the center of the X and the rubber grips it enought to get a cover on the trailer.
Good Luck, Mike

Thanks for the information. I will give this a try.

If you still have warranty on your camper I would check and see if they will still cover you if the cover causes a problem.

Covering my TT is a real PITA. These things just are not made to cover them. If I won the lotto I would move to where I could park the RV in a garage. The ADCO cover video makes it look so easy,lol. I really just need to cover one side and the rear from the sun damage.

I've used golf "wiffle balls" on our gutter spouts for 4 years now and they seem to work fine. cut a rectangular cutout for a snug fit on the spout. Seems to protect the cover fine.

Others have used tennis balls with equal success.

Tennis balls for the gutters, pool noodles everywhere else needed. 2nd year on the cover, not a tear in sight.

X2 on the pool noodles.

We use a Sunshield tarp and don't have this problem although we have the clip on gutter extensions.

Last camper I had I put extended gutter spouts on each corner. Well, they punched holes through the cover. So, after that I didn't worry about it any more. I just made sure the gutter spouts always went in the holes every year after that. Well, eventually I quite using the cover completely. Still have it, but have a different camper now with no intention of getting a cover for this camper.

The gutter extensions are only some of the things that will rip or wear holes in your cover. Before I cover my RV, I go around the side and then the top wrapping things like bathroom vents, TV antennas, gutter extensions, awning ends, bumper corners, etc. I bought a bag of shop towels at Costco and I use masking tape to hold the towels in place.
