Need help from a fellow 2955RL owner

I recently had a blowout on the passenger side rear tire of my 2008 2955RL. The steel belts rip apart the tire compartment, rear lower panel, and wheel well trim. I have repaired and replace everything, but it looks like something is missing. The area behind the rear wheel is open to the rear lower panel. I'm thinking that a baffle of some sort was originally there. Can someone with a 2955Rl take pictures of the lower panel area and the area behind the rear wheel, so I can determine what is missing, if anything?
Thanks
Walt

I don't have your model, but all Montana's have a plastic filler that screws in-between the floor, frame, and the lower aluminum skin. It blocks debris that is kicked up by the tires.

I have a panel in the front of the front passenger tire, but no panel in the rear of the rear passenger tire. I assume that the panel was ripped out when the blow out occurred. I will have to fabracate one.
Thanks

Thats what is missing. It is the defector to keep debris from getting up in the undercarriage. I lost mine, but haven't replaced it yet. Sorry you experienced what I did, another China Bomb casaulty. You have to order it through a RV shop.

I have a 2008 2955RL and there is a bulkhead behind the rearmost tire. Guess how I know. A blowout also but on the forward passenger side tire. My rear bulkhead remained although it needs to be resecured.

Can't see how to post a photo although I do have one, sorry.
