Most Popular Hitch Mount for 2017 Ford Escape

The flap itself is excellent, having a receiver mounted one very convenient. The issue I had was the single bolt used to snug up the entire setup. The previous units had two one one each side. To Roadmaster’s credit they were willing to accept my hitch mount and replaced with a two bolt version which solved the issue completely.

Okay there are only a couple small things that I have to grump about. First is that the mud flaps come rolled up and it is very hard to get them to lay flat now as you can see in the picture. Second there is no center flap included for total protection from debris flying from under the vehicle. Last thing is there should be a bar included for the bottom of the flaps to keep them laying flat all the time. On the other hand...Etrailer.com really rocks!!! This is the first time that I have every used them and I will be using them again for sure. You are always being updated on the progress of your order. You order ships out right away and I had my order in a couple days. The price of this product from Etrailer.com was the best on the net that I could find. Oh yeah, and the fact that I got this item with free shipping is a total plus to me. Again I would recommend this site to anyone because they are good.

Easy to install and remove.

I recently added a 6-inch lift and larger tires to my truck. The tires stick out approximately one inch outside of the wheel well. This immediately increased the amount of rocks I was slinging every time I pulled out of my 400-yard-long gravel driveway. We bought a travel trailer and the last thing I wanted to do was sling rocks at it non-stop or take the chance of busting a window. We all know how high the RV tech labor rates are. I opted for this product to prevent a more expensive issue down the road. The pros: They work as you'd expect them to. They are adjustable, both in height and width. You can shorten the actual flaps by cutting them and a hole punch is provided to create new bolt holes. They are easily removed when not in use. The cons: Whoever wrote the directions may have been half asleep. In one step they'd say do something one way, then the next step another way. Super confusing but most of us can figure out how to install them. The flaps are not attractive to the eye but they get the job done. They are overpriced but I convinced myself to purchase them by knowing if it saves one puncture to the front hull of my camper or one busted window, they've paid for themselves. I'd buy them again, even though I'd still mumble under my breath how much they are overpriced.

The product did what I wanted it to do. It kept stones and debris from hitting the camper. However, when you cut the flap to a height that is compatible to a good running height ( 4" above the road) the flap drags going in and out of parking lots. On one trip it drug so often the flap had a tear at the mounting bracket. I sent an email asking if I could purchase just the flap but I got no response. So I improvised and put another metal bracket joining both sections of the flap.

Very easy to install and looks great. I shimmed my receiver hitch to ensure it did not wobbel. Protects my fifth wheel from gravel and road debris.
