Fleetwood Discovery mud flap
We are looking to buy a mud flap for the back of our 2008 40x. We plan to go to Duraflap but I am wondering if anyone has one what size do you have? Also do you recommend this purchase?

Before I got into full time RV'ing back in '04, I use to follow class A rigs at freeway speeds up in Portland Oregon to try to get a feel of whether or not I could handle driving one. Being behind those rigs in the rain was an expirience. If they had full side to side mud flaps, huge, drenching splashes of water would hit my car's windshield on a regular basis. If they had the broom type, millions of water droplets slightly larger than raindrops would hit the windshield nearly constantly. Finally, if the rigs only had the mud flaps behind the rear wheels, it was like I was in a normal rain.
On those rare occasions where there was gravel kicked up by a RV I would be following, the least amount of pelting was behind the RVs without the full side to side mud flaps.
Now that I have a Class A with the simple style mud flaps behind the dualies, and a toad, all I did for my toad to protect it was put clear rock guards on the toad's headlights. Similar to those plastic phone screen protectors, only slightly thicker and larger. So far, so good over 3,000 miles. If the used rig I bought had had one of those full solid or broom type mud flaps, I would have removed it.
