The Best Hurricane Hinge for Teardrop Trailers—Now With a Built-In Rain Gutter
This Hurricane Hinge with Rain Gutter is a modern take on the classic teardrop trailer camper hinge—built tough, leak-resistant, and ready for the road.
Designed for DIY builders who don’t want to wrestle with leaky hatches, this 2-piece extruded aluminum hinge includes a built-in rain gutter to guide water safely off the sides of your trailer. It’s lower-profile than vintage models and nests tighter for less play.
We stock two popular lengths:
60″ Hinge – Ideal for 5-foot-wide teardrop trailer bodies
72″ Hinge – Perfect for 6-foot-wide trailer builds
To avoid leaks, always go a little longer than your trailer width. That way, runoff exits past the side walls—not down them.

“When I built my first teardrop trailer, I used an old-school hurricane hinge that didn’t come with a rain gutter. It looked great—but let’s just say my hatch was about as watertight as a screen door in a submarine. I’ve learned a few things since then.
That’s why I’m a fan of this Hurricane Hinge with Rain Gutter. It keeps the vintage look I love—low-profile, rugged aluminum—but adds something I wish I had from the start: a built-in rain gutter. It channels water off the sides instead of letting it creep down your galley walls. Game changer.” – Mark (Owner at Overland Trailer)

For even more protection, add our 1″ Vinyl Trim Insert for a tighter seal.
Hurricane Hinge with Rain Gutter Installation is straightforward. Just secure it with screws every 4 inches along the length—no special tools needed. Most builders prefer a teardrop galley hinge slightly longer than the trailer’s width so water sheds off the ends, not into the walls. A more waterproof hinge than the traditional hurricane hinges in the past.
Every hinge ships in a custom cardboard or plastic pipe—we’ve learned after 15 years that this is the safest way to prevent damage in transit.
