That's ironic, 3 weeks ago on my way to Colorado I had a blowout on my GD Reflection. I was fortunate as I only lost a 10" x 24" section of insulation and the black plastic tarp material you referenced. I replaced the insulation and then I decided I wouldn't let that damage happen again. I looked around and had two sections of galvanized heat duct 10" x 3" rectangular 10' long. Cut my pieces from the flat 10" sides of the duct and left a 1/4" upturn on one edge to make it easier to handle. I measured up each side of the trailer above the tires from cross support to cross support so I could screw the ends tight. Took one afternoon and fabricated my pieces and screw them in on 6" centers. Job looks like it came that way and If I have another blowout it wont tear the underside up. I painted it black before installation and it matches perfect.
