Question:
Are there any other solutions like this in the RV world other than Lipperts product? I know there a many drag chains and cable swing arms in the maintenance/engineering world that may work. The flexible plastic in Lipperts guard is too thin. Thanks, George

Hey, George.
After checking what we carried, it looks like we don't currently have an alternative to the Lippert Flexguard.
The Flexguard come in three available options, all 50-1/2" long, but they come in different widths:
Single – # LC1346271 (6" wide)
Double – # LC1346281 (12" wide)
Triple – # LC1346291 (18" wide)
You mentioned that it was too thin, is this what your RV has currently or was it something else that happened to be the same thickness?
