RE: Who Has Gutters?

[CampNfan]

 
I am looking for the Gutters that people have made from PVC Pipe. I looked at Tims site and could not find it? Of course I found everything else....LOL! Just not what I was looking for. Anyone got the plans for them? Thanks In advance! []

Well, while it is a fairly easy mod, I still havn t gotten to it yet[]
 
 Seems fairly straight forward-
 
 Take a length of PVC pipe, 6 - 8 inches should do ( thinwall 1 1/2" )
 
 Cut the top off about half of it
 
 Slide it oround the lower edge of the roof (between the roof and canvas) on the low side.  It should catch the water as it runs off the roof and direct it away from the pop up.  Personally I would put a bucket under it and use the water to put the campfire out at night.

Hi Rick,
 
 Ditto on the reply above. DW and I went to the local Home Depot and bought a length of 1 1/2"  thin wall PVC. The length was 10 foot. I then cut the pipe in half and then into 2 2 1/2 foot lenghs. The I split the back about 12"  of the top. They work great!

Above ideas are good.  For another using PVC go to my website, link below, click on " The Coleman Utah"  page link and then click on PopUp Projects, then the " AC Drip Thingy"  link.  I like this one because I can move the vinyl hose to put the drip where I want it.  I used one for each side, pushed them under the AC drip holes before setting up.  Cost almost nothing to make and works great.
 
 Happy Trails!

I bought the PVC pipe last night and making the cuts tonight.  We leave tomorrow and I can t wait to try it.   The last straw was this weekend.  We opened the PU for an hour to freshen it up and pack for the trip.  I turned the AC on for a few minutes and forgot about the drip.  Of course, the corner of the camper became wet and I had to wait for it to dry before closing it back up.[:@]
 
 Never again.

The gutter was a great success.[] The gutter stayed in place even during a lighting storm and worked like a champ the next day when the DW turned the air back on.  5 minute modification and it worked great.  The bunk end was dry when we packed up on Sunday.
 
 Thanks

While all of these gutters and contraptions are great the key to their success is remembering to put them on prior to raising the roof.  Most of the time when I would popup in the driveway to pack, clean, etc., I would forget to put them on and then ended up with a wet canvas anyway.  If I was leaving on a trip right away (next day, etc.) I would wipe down the canvas with an old towel and go ahead and popdown.  If moving the PU back to the garage for any length of time I would shut off AC and let canvas dry or wipe down as best I could and then leave the roof up about 2"  so the air could circulate for a day or two before closing locking it down. As they say, just roll with the flow.
