What Is This Part Called?

The end of my "gutters" on my trailer are supposed to end in a part that makes the water drip away from the side of the trailer. All four of these doohickies on my trailer are broken.

I don't know what to call them so I'm having a hard time searching for them. So what are they called? How easy/difficult are they to replace?

There are a couple of different types if you are trying to match what you have.

The ones that Stroking along posted don't look quite right. But now that I know what they're called I think I can find a close match. Most of them are fairly inexpensive so if I order the wrong ones I'm only out $10.

All four of mine are broken off so I'm not sure how long mine were. I haven't got up there to do a close visual inspection so don't know how they are attached.

That style should work once you get the old off and clean the area. I used the same style on my last 5th wheel which was different from the origanl that was on it. Put some caulk around it and should be good to go. One thing if you haven't notice is that they might be different lengths of the spout. Plus there is is a style that is more rubbery than hard plastic which is the style in the pic.

I'm still trying to figure out how the prior owners managed to break all four spouts off.

They were prob never there.... most manufacturers don't use them. Usually a dealer installed part. Also if you DO put them on AND use a winter cover, come spring you prob won't have them anymore.

No, there are stubs left where they broke off. Otherwise I wouldn't have realized there was supposed to be something (that actually worked) there.

They often get brittle and break.

Plastic don't last too long with the sun... the thinner it is the faster it breaks.

That's why I like the ones that are more rubbery they are forgiving in colder weather and when cleaning. It seems like the plastics ones you just look at them and they break.

I've ordered gutter spouts from Camco and JR and neither of them are the right size. They're simply too big. The gutter part would stick out too far from the wall of the trailer. I can't find ones that are smaller. Are there any RV parts houses that are good at chasing down parts for you?

My RV was built without spouts and does not seem to effect anything by letting the gutters dribble down the shell. Once in a while I clean the streaks.

Roof leaks are definitely the bigger battle.
