Drip Molding

[camelracer]

Murphy seems to show his ugly head every time it rains and tilts the truck so all the runoff from the top of the camper is directly over the driver's door.

I've attempted to solve this problem by installing a short dam on the front corners of the camper roof. I found some door threshold weather stripping at OSH and attached it to the molding on the top edge of the camper. The weather stripping has foam doubleback tape on the bottom half of the back plus I put the molding screws through it. I also put a good bead of sealer between the camper and the dam to keep water from pooling at the seam.

Hopefully someday we will get some rain here to test this thing out.

Dick,
I met a guy in Saline Valley who mounted an alumnium strip just like that along the entire rear edge as an alternative to a rain gutter...he said it worked great. Let us know how it works when we finally get rain in 6-8 months

Definitely interested to hear as that runoff can be quite annoying. I put some of that vinyl channel gutter on the sides of the camper roof but it didn't seem to do the trick. I saw Jack had done a chalk damn but something like this looks cleaner for sure.
