Vegas/Axis Drip Rail

[Mag]

Nice. It should work out. I hope to have mine installed this week sometime. The paint needs time to harden first.

Gutter install completed. I like it.

While I was in the roof area I noticed this screw. Must have been at the end of a shift or something. Good thing there’s white goop for everything.

I don't know if they can be adapted...
But our Tiffin came with some righteous gutters

So I ordered on Amazon: Trim-Lock Drip Rail

The product comes in 25’ rolls with self-stick foam tape attached.
I cleaned off the location where the line runs, and then lightly sanded for best adherence.
Once in place, the water is guided to either end of the roof rather than down the side of the RV.
I ordered enough for both sides of the Vegas.
I’m very satisfied
Here are photos of the final install.

One of the reviews on Amazon says it can’t be used on a rubber roof. Yours is membrane as well? Did you clean with alcohol prior?

Wiped down with rubbing alcohol
Then lightly sanded
Buffed off with a dry towel
Remove backing from double-stick foam tape

It adhered fine and has stayed in place for last 12mo (since original install).

No more drip marks across the sides of the RV, just at each end.

I used these on my coach as well but had to buy the 50 ft rolls to avoid seams. I find that I still need to “level” with one end of the coach low or the rain/condensate goes over the side instead of to the end.

Finally getting around to this project as well...would like to mount on top of our Vegas also.

Wondering if there is a need for the gutter spouts and would appreciate more install pictures and any updates after your Drip Rails have now been installed for awhile?

Just completed adding $10 camco spouts on both sides/front & rear to my drip rails

The system works great
No more streaks

I'm in the process of painting the pvc and gutter extensions to match our Axis's color. I'll add those pics when its installed. BTW, at Home Depot their Rust-Oleum "Satin Heirloom White" spray is as close to the Axis champaign color as you're going to get. I taped off the ends as to be able to glue a joint piece in the center.

Do you have any photos of the finished product?

Is that what you're looking for?

Thanks for posting this. I searched gutters and this was the cleanest installation. Too bad I have to wait for the J trim, it's out of stock till Jan.

I applied this drip rail to the roof rail after taking the vinyl strip covering the screws out. Also added gutter extenders.
