In my opinion a rear mud/rock guards help very little. My toad gets small rocks all over it every rain storm behind our 41' DP. I've seen pics where 1-2" rocks pile up on the toad windshield. I took it off my last 36' gasser and the trailer we pulled got no more damage/mud than with it. Gassers mud guard was solidly mounted and was very un-aerodynamic. DP's mud flap (no more effective) at least sways with the wind.
I disagree. The guard serves a purpose. One reason I noticed on Our's it keeps stuff from getting thrown into the radiator. There are two hoses and a middle aluminum connector that I asume runs coolant under our radiator. If road derby hit that we'd be in trouble.
Not saying it doesn't kick up dirt and small stones, but I've never had that problem with our last two toads.
