Hello,
 We have been looking into the gutters that Camping World sells that affix to the side of the coach. We also saw that Cholula Red has them. We are interested in hearing experiences with them and whether they need to be seamless lengths or if splices hold up well.

Also if they last, are hard to replace if they don't etc..

We have a 2006 30'IB.

Looking forward to hearing your responses. thanks, Lydia & Robin

 I have those gutters on my '04 30'IB and like them quite well. Don't expect miracles in a heavy rain because they are too shallow and will overflow. In a light rain or in a heavy dew they will effectively keep those dreaded black streaks off the sides of your coach. But they will not help at the ends where the gutter stops.
 They can be had in lengths that will allow a one piece installation. I've got them on the sides only.
 Be sure to follow the instructions, preferrably a warm day and a clean mounting area. It's pretty much a two person project to get them perfectly level along the upper seam.

Good luck!

I've had them for four years now, and they work fine. I believe I bought the material in either a 25' or 50' roll, so there was no need to splice (probably not a good idea).

We are the only people we know that couldn't get these to work. We have a 30' LD.

We cleaned the surface with 90% Isopropyl alcohol. Installed

We tried the installation as instructed during warm weather and they stayed on 2-days and fell off. :( Mike
