Expert Reply:

Rain gutters on an enclosed trailer will be located at the tops of the two sides of the trailer very near the roof.
The gutters are essentially concave tracks that run from front to back. If you check your trailer roof where it meets the side panels and there is a smooth continuous path for water running off the roof, then you do not have rain gutters.

I have attached a photo of a vehicle with rain gutters to illustrate their appearance.
