I have noticed a few caravans with what looks like awning skirt (cut down to a couple of inches depth) fed through the awning rails.  Apparently this is supposed to act as a gutter as such, and stops the water from running down the side of the caravan, causing black streaks etc.  I would only want to put it on when the caravan is in storage, not tow with it on, as it looks a bit strange.  Does anybody have an idea of where to buy such a thing, do you use one, does it cut down on cleaning etc? 

Thanks for your comments.

Nicky

I used to use a couple of lengths of three inch wide plastic floor covering (lino type materiel) When folded it stayed in the awning channel and the water ran off away from the sides. I only used them at home.HTH
