Dometic is preventing rain from falling on motorhome RVers’ parades.
The supplier launched the RainTec RT 200 rain gutter with an LED light strip.
The gutter is placed above Type B motorhome sliding doors to catch any rainfall, minimizing raindrops entering the vehicle.
The RainTec gutter is made from powder-coated aluminum. The gutter includes lighting with chip-on-board technology. The lighting features reduces gaps in the light strip to provide a continuous line of light.
