Travel Trailer Mud Flaps??

The metal frame / rear bumper areas behind the rear wheels on my TT are constantly being pelted by road dirt / sand and then rusting... Has anyone seen or know of where to purchase a set of mud flaps for a travel trailer? Maybe this is something I have to design and install myself but something must be done...

    Just try and keep the mud flap back far enough or if closer to the tire short enough so it doesn't get caught between a curb and the tire when you have to back up.

    Bought a single semi trailer flap and cut it in half. Mounted with angle iron.

    I added plain jane, after market, solid rubber pickup truck mudflaps to my trailer. It's been awhile so I don't remember the details, but it was really easy. They keep the rear of the trailer much cleaner, especially the black/gray tank drain area. Very worth the effort.

    Mine has factory mudflaps. It's hard to see, but this is the as close as I have at the moment. The mudflap bolts onto a length of angle iron that's welded to the frame behind the rear most tire.



    Hope that helps.

    Visit a farm machinery dealership and buy some round bailer belting many sell it in bulk used will work as well.
