Has anyone come up with a clean and simple solution to getting water off your Clipper Roof?
Am I the only one who has water collecting on hie roof?
Presently (unfortunately) my Clipper is parked out in the elements, and after these rain storms, I have water standing in front of the upper bunk escape hatch, as well as on the back above the kitchen (rear kitchen model).
What I do now is climb up there with a 1/4 inch pastic hose about 6 feet long and siphon the water off by using a little suction, and then letting gravity do the rest.
I remember reading/hearing about a guy who drilled holes in the edges of his Clipper roof, and then put tubes in there, glassed over it, and the roof drained, etc. That's a bit to "risky" for me.
Anyone have any other preventative solutions?
Thanks

Mine does the same thing. When we are going to leave it parked for a while, we just put the front wheels on ramps. The water runs off the back. Of course this only works if you are storing it and not trying to keep the fridge cold (//images/smiles/icon_smile.gif)
Ramps of 2x4 or 2x6 work for me. I only use two under each front tire for 3" of lift on the front. Disadvantage is that the water runs off the back and over the seam between the roof and the vertical panels. I found a leak that way. (//images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif)
Well lifting one end of the Clipper with blocks/ramps is not an option, as I use my Clipper as a spare office, to hang out and watch football games with my friends, etc.
It has to remain level.
Tarping?? May have to give it a try, but how do you deal with wind. You must really tie it down firmly - I'd hate to have the tarp loosen up on one side, and then have the wind beating it against the Clipper all day while I'm at work (//images/smiles/icon_sad.gif)
May just have to build a big carport...........
