Rerouting air conditioner drips

[Bratmanstudio]

This Saturday I will be picking up my new to us 2015 Miramar 34.2. One of the things I don't like is how the air conditioners stream down the sides and makes a pretty ugly mess. Does anybody have a mod to reroute the water from the sides of the couch?u

Sorry that was sides of the coach.

If possible, you can add an RV gutter spout. I believe they are also available in black. See pic. They're intent is to keep the water stream off the coach if the AC drip uses your existing gutter as a channel. It also keeps rain water off the sides. They do sell different styles that could fit better depending on your circumstance.

We used a clothespin. Seems to help a lot.

Just clipped the clothespin on the existing down spout. Just about the same as the plastic one shown.

After you play with leveling for a while you can choose to adjust so that one end or one corner is "off" a twitch.....we know that our full slide will press it to be about 11/4 inch diff when it is put out after leveling... that is fine with us,..,the water usually runs off the driver side away from us! Sometimes we will dip the hind end a bit depending on the spot we are in so that it runs back and off an end!

Find someone installing new awning and cut off last foot along roller tube. Cut that into 2 foot sections. Slide piece into awning track to drip point and water will run down fabric and free fall to ground. Only water on side will be from wind moving drips. I had some made at awning shop. Works great.

I think I understand what you have done but could you post a picture or two for clarification. Thanks!

All interesting ideas, I'll go on the roof during the inspection and see what's up with the rails and such, you'd think the rails would have kept it from coming down near the drivers windows unless it wasn't very level. Like the idea of tweaking the level to drain down the back.

Here it is. Actually made for previous coach which was mostly white. It is on my to-do list to make something from darker color for our Challenger

Picture worth a thousand words! Thank you for the picture, understand now!

Now I'm more confused... So this lifts the drips just enough to not run down the side of the coach, but you still have a puddle on the side? You said something about down the awning?

Ps, love the paint job.
