Dometic's RainTec RT 200: Better Campervan Comfort and Protection

Dometic Unveils RainTec RT 200: A Dual-Function Rain Gutter and LED Lighting System

Dometic has introduced the RainTec RT 200, an innovative solution designed to enhance the campervan experience by addressing a common issue: rainwater entering the vehicle when the sliding door is opened during wet weather.

This sleek rain gutter not only prevents water ingress but also features an integrated LED light strip, providing ambient exterior lighting controllable via a remote.

The RainTec RT 200 is made from strong aluminium and is both functional and stylish. It keeps campervans dry and well-lit without affecting their looks.

Addressing Water Ingress: A Common Concern for Campervan Owners

Water ingress is a prevalent issue among campervan and motorhome owners, often leading to dampness, mould, and structural damage.

Traditional construction methods with multiple panel joins and screw holes have historically increased the risk of moisture penetration.

Even minor gaps around windows, doors, or roof fittings can allow water to seep in, especially during heavy rainfall or when driving in wet conditions.

Preventative measures, such as installing effective rain gutters, are essential to divert water away from potential entry points and maintain the vehicle's integrity.

Innovative Features of the RainTec RT 200

The RainTec RT 200 distinguishes itself with several advanced features:

• Continuous LED Lighting: The integrated LED strip uses new chip-on-board (COB) technology. This makes the light line smooth and even, eliminating the gaps that are often found in traditional SMD LEDs. This design provides consistent illumination with a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours.

• Vehicle-Specific Models: To ensure a perfect fit, Dometic offers the RainTec RT 200 in four models tailored for popular panel vans, including:
  

  • Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, Citroën Jumper (Model Year 2006 or later)

  • Mercedes Sprinter (Model Year 2018 or later)

  • Ford Transit (June 2019 or later)

  • VW Crafter II (Model Year 2017 or later)

Each kit comes complete with installation materials, a dimmer switch, and a remote control for user convenience.
