Dammit Andy, I questioned if rain would get in to that type of set up when I started making mine and was assured that it wouldn't...... BY YOU!!
An idea I thought of would be to cut the end of the elbow at an angle so it ended up having a veranda. Hard to explain, I'll try to put up a pic soon

Ive never had water in it until I parked it on a severe down hill for 10 minutes and now im paranoid...lol
Something like this would work but not as ugly....smaller little set up more cylindrical would look ok.

I know exactly what you mean, I was going to build a veranda but cutting the rubber would be easier....

Yeah I thought to myself, it rains good here and I couldn't see how rain wouldn't get in.

Maybe that would be enough? It would certainly help

Good idea mate, my only concern by cutting the rubber on angle would be how close the cut is to the bottom of the rubber.
If cut close to where the elbow bends then you have a down hill angle straight away asking for water to come down thats all.
I dont have much horizontal rubber length on the elbow of mine.

What if you used a 90 - 130 deg elbow on the end of the pipe so that the opening would be more or less pointing down at the roof? No need to cut anything then.
Cheers,

Just about to jump into my next Patrol. A 2001 GU II TB45E .
WARNING!: Do not ever use a towball as a recovery point. They are not rated and can become a deadly projectile during a recovery if they snap off, and they have done so with tragic results in the past.

Can you get 130's?.....That would be better too, so the opening is facing downwards more.

Mine would hit the roof with a 90 or more bend. And the stainless is already cut so I can't lengthen that.
