rv rain gutter spout and screw trim cover questions

[rockwind1]

i am not sure if my "j" metal rain gutter is an unusual size or not. it has the track for the vinyl screw cover trim stuff but i am not sure whether to order 3/4" or 1" 1" is supposedly the industry standard. the opening width on mine is about 5/8"'s of an inch, ( this is not counting the thin slots where the flat parts of the trim would pop into. i hope i am describing this right. trying to upload a pic, not sure if i can.

the lower "J" part below the trim slots sticks out a solid 3/8's" i want to put some rain gutter plastic extensions on it but all the ones i find seem stupidly made, like they either pop onto existing spouts or they have a super wide mouth up against the J metal,,, hmmm. hopefully my pics work. i don't have any existing spouts on mine, the metal gutter just dead ends

anyone bought screw trim lately? how did you measure width?

appreciate any insight

What year/make/model of RV is this?

I don't think there is an "industry standard" rain gutter. Or even having a gutter. And insert sealing strips vary too, though 1" is the most common. Each manufacturer has his own notion about this stuff, and those that make several brands may use different trim on different product lines.

Is this one close to what you have? Or are the gutter and the insert trim two separate pieces?

your RV’s rain gutter setup is a bit unique, which is common as manufacturers often have different specifications for gutters and trim. it seems like 1" screw trim is likely the correct choice for your 2007 Attitude Toyhauler 33fakg, even if your gutter shape differs slightly.

For brands, you might consider those known for durability in harsh conditions like the Nevada sun, such as RVUpgrades or Dicor. Amazon is also a good place to find various options, as suggested by Kirk. These brands often offer trims and covers designed to withstand UV exposure and extreme weather conditions, so they should last longer in the sun. If you need extensions for your gutter, look for ones designed for narrow or custom gutters, or consider adjustable spout extensions.

If you have spouts now you can extend them by putting a clothespin on them. Leave them on all the time

I’ve traveled from NH to FL and back twice and they were still there. 5600 miles
