Draining water off an RV roof with storage cover #18978375 12/02/23 Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 13,218 Likes: 4 Willamette Valley, Oregon P Pharmseller OP Campfire Outfitter OP Pharmseller Campfire Outfitter P Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 13,218 Likes: 4 Willamette Valley, Oregon As you can see, water is pooling on top of my RV cover. I’ve tried a box under the cover and jacking up the front but the railing around the back end of the RV defeats my efforts. I read something about putting a strip of cloth in the puddle and letting it dangle down the side, pulling water off like a siphon hose. Is that a thing? Any ideas? She’s winterized so I’d rather not move her. P Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved. ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~ Member #547 Join date 3/09/2001
