Title: Rain rails
Post by: NADAZE! on June 14, 2025, 12:24:36 pm
I'm confused why Lazy Daze didn't install rain rails down the side of the coaches.
Have any of you purchased rain rails and had them installed from a rv center?
What was the cost plus installation?

Thanks!
Mark

Rain rails are typically used on coaches with curved roofs, to redirect water flowing to either side. LD uses flat roofs, where water usually goes to the front or back, assuming a degree of levelness when parked.

The stick on variety of gutter is a DIY project unless you to want to pay a RV shop $200 to install it.

Thanks for your suggestions. I'm looking for rain gutters for the full 31' length. I'm not interestd in applying plastic peel and stick gutters off every window.

I only listed one of many gutter options, few LD owners have installed the stick on gutters. Most find them unneeded and ugly.

Hi Mark;  I'm not sure where you saw  "....full 31' length. I'm not interested in applying plastic peel and stick gutters off every window".      The drip rail that Larry mentioned comes in a 40' roll and is stuck to the side skin just under the corner cap.  The full length of the roof. Nothing there about windows.  You would have to buy two kits, one for each side.  These are not actually 'rain gutters'.  They are meant to keep dirt and debris from dripping over the side and causing dirt streaks in multiple locations on the sides.  There is a more obvious drip, water diverter shelf, just above the entry door. 
    I get a daily dose, most mornings, of fog and clouds that causes just enough moisture to accumulate on the roof, that results in dirt that dribbles down the 'low' end of the rig. Very unsightly. I consider the dirt to be a sunscreen for protection from UV, and paint damage.   RonB
