Hey Nancy,
With something that is a universal fit, installation videos are difficult since each application is going to be its own unique install. Depending on what size fender your trailer needs I can get a better idea of what it takes to install the size you need. I will say for a fender like the CE Smith # CE17800G, this fender uses the original brackets on your trailer to install. Meaning you would drill the holes necessary into the fender to match your brackets. With that type of install every single trailer is different. It depends on what you have on your trailer.
If you want to let me know what size fender you have I can find ones that are going to be a correct size for you and let you know how the installation would work.
