Gutter for AC run off?

[astrowolf67]

Hello, After our camping trip this weekend, I want to do another mod to my 04 Viking 2472.  It has no gutters, and hence, the AC run off runs directly on to the rear bunk.  It made it a pain to dry, and keep dry while trying to pop down this morning.  Has anyone with a Viking ever added a gutter to the rear end to catch the run off?  I'd like to install something permanent.  I made a temporary one out of a piece of PVC, sliced in half, and wedged between the tenting and bottom edge of the roof, but of course, during closing, it has to be removed.

Thanks

You don't have a Carrier Air V air conditioner do you?  

The temporary gutter that you made is the most effective one I have seen for a PU.

Yes, it's a Carrier Air V.  I found some vinyl stick on gutter at the local RV supply that I'm going to try, along with the PVC extensions.

Why do you ask if it's the Air V?  Are they well known for the amount of run off they produce?  Or is there some where I can hook up a drain hose?

Thanks,
David

Both the Colemans and Carriers produce a lot of condensate.  Only if I'm desperate will I put the pvc gutter on.
 
I've seen folks rig up a pvc downspout to their roof collector to drain it to the ground before, but basically, folks use the cut pvc to route the water away from the tenting.
