I've been thinking about this, and haven't come up with anything reasonable. Vinyl is so susceptible to UV degradation...
I'm thinking of using a clear plastic tarp or something, just letting it sag a bit so the water runs into a screened bucket.

Go to the local RV store and check what they have on their new ones?

Forgot to mention, the above gutter is on flebay and is sold by the foot, don't have to buy a 50 or 100 foot roll.

That J-channel that Matlock found looks interesting.
When you get to installing rain gutters, you must be nearing completion.... Unless you are in the middle of a major roof repair?
I would assume this is for controlling rainwater, rather than actually collecting it.
The water that washes off the roof of an RV is kinda junky.

I've replaced several portions of my rusted out roof gutter, with Aluminum C channel, along with some epoxy and fiberglass to mae steel and aluminum. Some 3m5200 as well
Hardly perfect but one works with what they have.

water control,there is no gutter system so when parked to the side it pours into the rail of my sliding windows and gets in that way and when parked nose down it floods the hood/door area which explains why everything under the hood was rusty when i got it
i saw the peel n stick stuff but it's small and i'm in oregon so looking more 1"x1"
being fiberglass i did think just fiberglass some up but that would be work
