Suburban Tow Vehicle - mud flaps width

I'm running road tammers which you can adjust quite a bit, very happy with them, seems to keep most of the road muck off the trailer. Now those pesky bugs on the other hand!

On my rig now, I don't use anything but wheel well flaps. I found that the only thing the wide flaps did for me was minimize rock damage.

I come from the old school, so I always see these things as a way to keep my money in my pocket, rather than giving it to people I don't know.

I decided that my new set up I would concentrate on the rock damage vs the road grime. Road grime is a lot easier to remove than rock chips. In my case I am dealing with a fiberglass nose cone, so I sprayed the lower portion with Rocker Guard, if it needs, I can just add another coat. If you have checker plate on the front, you could probably just let it happen, then down the road you could replace the checker plate at less than the cost of the fancy flaps.

The cost of a can of Rocker Guard in Canada, $12.00, the satisfaction of keeping my money, well you know.

Truck flaps from ryderfleetproducts.com cut to fit.

Check out DuraFlaps, They are great quality, made in the USA and can be had in different lengths and widths.

I have mud flaps attached to the truck in the wheel well. I also have a full width mud flap that attaches around the hitch. Mud still gets past everything.

Photo of my Springdale and my old truck a few years ago. I had mud flaps and the full flap across the back of the truck. Sometimes, it's just not enough:

I have mud flaps on my truck but still get mud once in awhile on the front of the 5th wheel. Not enough that I would change anything though.
