First let's start off with a Happy 4th of July to all. Next I'm looking for some input and perhaps some Pics of how they mounted their angle iron to the rear of their Class A MH. First I will say I have a 2018 FR GT5 31L5 and I guess I felt it would be a no brainer to mount this once I got it so didn't look to closely at areas to mount it to on the rear of the frame but now that I have it and look underneath I've come to the conclusion the only way to mount the aluminum angle iron need to mount the mudflap to is to either weld it to the frame or drill holes into the frame to mount it. Both not ideal things to do. So I'm looking for some suggestions and Pics if possible (because we all know Pictures speak a thousand words) on how other's mounted theirs. I also like to know how far back and how high off the ground it should be. I hear 4" off the ground is the norm to keep rocks from pummeling my toad.
Thxs to all
I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that we're talking about a full length rock guard and not wheel mudflaps, as per say.
If so, the best way is to just hang it on two chains, using swivels and if there's any angle iron to be used then mount it on the guard itself. Also attach some small wire cable loosely and on the front side from the frame and to where the chain attaches to the guard. This to limit the swinging, but with enough slack in allowing it to go horizontal, if need be.
I've seen more complicated and permanent type mounting, but should only be used with non-solid products, otherwise you'll tear it up on a low place or on some other obstruction.
How far back depends on a good place for hanging it and it can be as low as 2" when the coach is level. Again it should be able to ride over most anything, in some fashion or the other.
