Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Best dually truck rock guard to protect fifth wheel.
Permalink  

What do you use and like to protect your fifth wheel from damage caused by stones/ rocks while driving?

I just purchased and returned a Towtector bumper mount rock protector because of quality issues and melting from my F350 dually diesel side exhaust. I got the 96 inch wide one to protect the fifth wheel.

Debating on wider/ lower mud flaps (it has factory installed which are narrower)? Or, thick rubber bumper mount protector (verify heat protection though)?

Appreciate any feedback.

If you should happen to decide to NOT have permanent mud flaps on your truck, you might consider the Rocktamer system that inserts into one's rear receiver hitch, thus being removable when not towing the trailer.  They can be purchased in different places; i.e., Cabela's, Amazon, Camping World or direct from the company.

 No, I don't.  I did look at them years ago at a Cabela's and was impressed with the build quality.  I don't know if they are still built the same or not.  We don't travel that much, so I've not really needed them.
