Best Mud Flaps?

I've notices with my snow & wet weather camping trips, I'm damaging my wood under the camper.

& realize I need Mud Flaps.

What might you recommend?

Its a Dodge with a diesel & seems from my limited getting custom vs plain the prices are pretty close?

Thanks in advance for your help.

    From water and snow getting up on the underside of the camper?

    I've got Duraflap on my truck. They are fine unless you off road. They are not really flexible and will pull off the fender if pinched against the tire. Bought them for the coverage area and 120kmi later I have very few rock chips on the rockers and lower fenders.
    None of this will help keep snow/slush off the camper. I fixed, caulked, and painted all the underside plywood exposed to tire spray. Imo this is the only way to protect it.
  • My vote is for Duraflap, they are a no drill install, quality product, plus they look a whole lot better than Husky or Weathertech in my opinon and their customer service is awesome. I had them on my 2008 F450 and now on my 2015 F350.
  • Rock Tamers. They mount to the hitch bar, sit a little farther back and are longer. This all provides better protection than a truck wheel well mounted flap.
  • I bought the duraflaps to go on my new truck for around $300. If I could due it again I'd get the mopar rubber ones.
  • Husky Liner makes some good ones so does Weath-Tech. This year I added Rock-Tamers to stop all the rocks from hitting my new 5er. It plugs in the hitch and has great coverage
