RV FEATURE
Jason was in construction for 30 years , mainly working on commercial projects , and Pauline worked in corporate finance for over ten years . They made the call that it was time to change their life , purchased a caravan , rented out their house , and packed minimal belongings , including their two dogs Molly and Pepper .
The aim was to hit the road with an open mind and see where it took them . To quote Jason : “ Best decision ever !”
BORN OUT OF NECESSITY
Not too long into their trip , they experienced heavy rain while camping on the central New South Wales coast . With their awning out , a huge amount of water fell from the awning flap ( valance ), flowed under the awning and caused flooding and unnecessary damage in the under-awning living area , including saturated dog beds . To say the outside living space was now uncomfortable would be an understatement .
Jason and Pauline knew they needed a solution to this issue , knowing it would eventually become a problem again . After searching the internet for an offthe-shelf fix , they didn ’ t really find anything that would work .
They wanted something easy and quick to put up when needed , and compact and lightweight to travel with . It had to be a one-piece gutter , independent of the awning and not wear and tear the valance or any other part of the caravan by way of plastic clips , screws or clamps .
This is how their invention , the RainAway Awning Gutter , was born . They have perfected a sleek and elegant gutter with the ability to divert rainwater away , capture rainwater into a container , or store rainwater straight into the caravan ’ s water tank .
