I have a set of the Roadmaster flaps. They are sold by CW, as well as direct online, etc. I got mine through a friend from an RV supply house. They are pricey IMO for the results. I think a full width flap would probably be a little more effective in knocking down dirt and stones, etc. The Roadmaster mounts in the regular hitch receiver on the back. They wobble. A new clamp "collar" has recently come out to help attach them that should help elminate the wobble. I bought one, but haven't had the opportunity to try it yet. I have gotten to where I generally use them on the longer trips and have taken to leaving them at home on the shorter trips.
I had one of the "grass" type full rear skirts on my old motorhome. It too was marginal in its results as any stones of size at all went right through it anyway. How heavy the flap or skirt is dictates how vertical it stays while at speed. If they swing back and up much in the wind, they're covering that much less area.
A full width, rigid as possible flap would be the most effective.
That's my 2 cents and maybe an extra 1/2 cent.

I buy the custom front and rear flaps for my dually. They hang down far enough to stop of rocks, made of sturdy pre-formed vinyl-plastic, and have, at least some, style. I don't care for the look on the single large, rubber flap across the back...my dually looks enough like a truck already!

I had the 3/8 inch thick, 12 inch wide, industrial made, mud flaps installed on my GM, both front and rear. Seem to do the trick for me. Not the best looking mud flaps but very functional, For me, function over form any day......

I had a set similar to ART installed on our dually. We have about 3500 miles or so towing the 3400 and there is not a mark on the camper.

Google Duraflaps they are a very good system. Very professional to deal with. You can also get them custom. Some are the drill less type very easy to mount. I will order another set when we get our new Chevy Dually..... GBY....

I apologize for my poor grammar in earlier posting! I didn't proof read it and my fingers got ahead of my brain. (I bought not I buy)
