A common complaint from MDC Forbes 12+, 13+ & 15+ owners is water running down off the ends of the awning box onto the slide-out fridge and slide-out cooker. I've deisigned and made these universal corner gutter extensions to divert the water around the corner where it can run down the front/back of the van. They are made from PETG material which should last many years. It is tough, slightly flexible and temperature / UV resistant. Sold in a pair.
NOTE: "Non-plus" owners have also bought these from me and, in about 80% of cases, they fit OK. However, some of the non-plus vans seem to use different awnings and/or it has been mounted in a different position. In these cases, I have worked with the buyers to resolve the issue by designing them custom gutters. So, the chances are, my standard gutters will fit your non-plus Forbes van. That said, please contact me if you wish to purchase for non-plus models and I'll ask you to take a few measuremrnts and photos.
MDC Forbes+ Corner Gutter Extensions (pair)
Fitting Instructions
As no two caravans are assembled exactly the same, I've made these corner gutter extensions universal.
I have deliberately made them a little longer than they need to be because there’s a little bit of variation in the caravans. The idea is that you cut them to size yourself. I’d recommend using a fine tooth hacksaw to trim them down. Cut the “leg” that runs down the side of the van so that newly cut end butts up to the end of the rubber awning seal. Cut the “leg” that runs across the front/back of the van to a suitable length so that it diverts the water past the rubber trim that runs vertically down the fron/back of the van. Refer to the photos. Once you have the right length, you stick/seal them with some silicon rubber. For example, Sikaflex. You can hold them in position with some painters tape while the adhesive/sealant sets. If possible, I’d recommend trying to get a slight downward fall on the gutter that wraps around the front or rear of the caravan so that water will drain away rather than collect in the corner. That last step is not essential and, depending how your van was put together, may or may not be possible.
