Mud Flaps for Class C towing jeep

NEW jeep. Our Jayco class C has no mud flaps/rock guard currently and this is our first time towing.

Hubby says we will unhook and both drive on gravel roads (BLM lands...no alaska plans currently).

Any recommendations for something to protect my shiny red new jeep?

dcason,
There's been a few discussions on mud flaps and rock guards. There are some, especially Class A drivers who, have reported that with the full length rock/mud guard, have received more rock chips on their toads than without. Well, I kind-a have to go along with that train of thought. Long story short, we've towed our '11 GMC Sierra 1500 extended cab 4x4 several thousand miles WITH a full length mud flap. And, in that time, that truck has received hundreds of chips.

But, we purchased a used '15 Jeep JKUR almost a year ago and, as with all our previous Jeeps, intended on towing it. Well, just as an experiment, I removed that full length rock guard/mud flap. And, I installed new mud flaps behind my tires since the old ones were fairly torn up.

Well, after several thousand miles of towing that Jeep, not ONE CHIP has happened to that Jeep. So, that's just a side note here. But, did the new mud flaps help? Well, possibly. But, removing that full length one I think (pretty sure) was the trick. If I were you, yep, I'd either have nice, strong mud flaps installed or, install them yourself. It's not all that hard.
