Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Kind of like the visors you put on your pickup or something. Sorry if this doesn't make complete sense, been a loooong weekend in the restaurant

• When I bought my 15"x18" awning-style windows from 'Lil Bear in 2013, I also bought the little eyebrows he also sold. I figured, I might keep my windows open in a light rain, and the eyebrows might catch some water spilling off the flat roof. I had a '68 Chevy pickup a few years back, and installed the classic metal window visors on it, and they worked...I could keep the windows cracked, and no rain would enter there. The trailer window eyebrows reminded me of them.
• I made my own visors/deflectors for my homemade doors, by bending and forming angle aluminum stock to mimic the shape of the doors, from frame front up past the opposite top edge; they work pretty good. They were screwed and glued on, to prevent wind-driven rain from being blown into the door seals. And to stop water coming off the roof from entering. With the exception of leaving one door partially open, under a canopy pouring water directly on that door, my aluminum angle visors have done alright.
• Some people do without the visors, while others, like me, think that they do a good job keeping water out (under most circumstances); the choice is yours.
