Dethleffs Trend: Noisy rain dripping

I wonder whether and how you resolved this problem.  We bought a similar Dethleffs, before we read your query!  After a dry trip we went to the Lake District and had sleepless nights.  Could you send me a photo of the solution as I want the Dethleffs dealer to fix this under warranty. Thanks. Nikolas.waller@gmail.com

Hi nikko - as this post is three years old and the OP hasn't posted anything since, I doubt very much that you'll receive any response to your request from this poster.

Maybe somebody else might have an answer.

I have found it is not worth the effort to stop drips - much simpler to soften whatever it is they land upon.

Regards and Vera,

don’t know if you are still reading this, but your discussion topic has been a lifesaver.  We have been waking up early hours of the morning when it rains to a constant sound of dripping and you have solved our problem because we have looked high and low to try and figure out where the noise was coming from and you are right it sounds like Chinese torture and very, very loud. We to have single beds at back of van and you have to hear it to appreciate how loud and annoying it sounds. Your solution was spot on and we have now to think how to stop it dripping from bike rack.  We would never, ever have found out it was coming from the bike rack without accidental coming across your post.  Thank you.

Find where the water drips down to, and simply put a sponge on the impact area for it to drip onto. 🤔No more loud dripping noise. Works for bath taps, sink taps etc...... It really is that easy to solve.

No charge for this information......🤣

Can you buy a cover that will cover bikes and carrier. Or make one.
