Water pooling on roof

[Horst]

Many Clippers (mine included) have a tendency to "pool" water on the roof in different places. Sometimes near and around the vent over the cab-over queen bed, or by the fridge vent on rear kitchen models, or other areas on the backside of the coach.
There are solutions to prevent water pooling, such as:
1) Covering your Clipper in a garage or with a tarp, the latter option having its own problems.
2) Parking your Clipper at an "angle" so water will not be able to pool - but then you can't "use" the Clipper as guest quarters, etc.
3) A radical solution utilized by one ACOC member was to drill a hole through the fiberglass, insert a "drain tube", re-glass the area, etc. - a tricky and rather high-tech job which could go bad.

I came up with this low-tech, but very effective system.
1) Buy an 8-10 foot piece of clear plastic tubing, 3/16 inch inside diameter, 5/16 inch outside diameter (your local hardware store will have this stuff)
2) Cut one end of the tubing at an angle - say 45 degrees or less
3) Get a regular sized brick
4) Get on the roof of your Clipper (or use a ladder) and lay the tubing down with the shorter side of your angle cut up, in the deepest part of where your water pools. Make the letter "C" (about 5 inches long) out of this end of the tubing on your roof, and lay the brick on top of it, so that the brick lays on the top and bottom of the "C", and not on your fiberglass.
5) Let the other 8 feet or so of the tubing hang over the side of the Clipper.
6) Gently siphon the water (by sucking a little on the end of the tube that is hanging of the side of the Clipper) - and it will continue to drain the water off your roof until it is nearly gone.
Works great in rain to keep water off the low spots on your roof!
