I have an Ultraguard and installed it near the fuel tank as close to the rear wheels as possible. My spare is under the coach behind or after the Ultraguard. If I put it any place else, the UG would be in the way when I would need my spare tire. I attached the UG to the I-beam of the frame right behind the fuel tank by chains and rings. It will move or swing if it hits anything during travel. Be sure to have at least 5” of ground surface between the road and UG. You need at least 5” clearance to have room for the rear of the coach to dip when a tire is on uneven surface, especially when you are traveling on gravel roads or on park entrance. Also, the lower the UG in the rain has a tendency to fan the water on the road and make a spray which gets all over the toad from bumper to bumper.
What happens that if the UG is too low, it will drag the road surface and rake-blow-drag-spin any object up and bounce on the road and on your toad. I figure by having the UG near the rear wheels, a rock has time to bounce off the rear wheel and hit either my mud flap, UG, or both and control most if not all the debris. I don’t pull a toad yet, but am getting ready for the day. The reason DP has their mud guards on the rear near the bumper are to keep any oil or grease from the engine getting on their toad. Gas coaches don’t have or need that type of installation..........
