Today we're gonna be taking a look at and also showing you how to install the RoadMaster RoadWing Removal Mud Flap System. Available in several different sizes for different vehicle configurations. Where the RoadMaster RoadWing is gonna be a really good solution to help save whatever it is you're hauling, whether you've got an enclosed trailer. In this situation we've got an RV towing a car. On road you're gonna have debris on paved roads. You're gonna have debris to come up, rocks, little pieces of dirt, sand, stuff like that.

But, when you get off road, you're gonna see gravel coming up. You're gonna see dirt. Out in the mountains, trying to get over some of those passes, you're gonna have a lot of stuff that especially dual rear RVs or dual wheel trucks are gonna be kicking up.This is also gonna come in a size that's gonna work for your full sized trucks and SUVs and your mid-size trucks and SUVs. So, regardless of what you're hauling in those situations, you're gonna probably be hauling a trailer, whether it's an enclosed trailer. Maybe you've got a boat or motorcycle behind there.

Maybe you've got a race car on the trailer, and you just don't want stuff being kicked up on it. These are gonna provide a really good solution. Now, all of these are designed to fit around a two inch by two inch shank. So, whether that's gonna be on your ball mount. This is our tow bar for a flat tow setup.

Or, even if you wanna protect items in a cargo carrier. Maybe you don't want stuff bouncing up on that.This is gonna fit right around the shank. You've got two bolts. You've got one here, one located in the same place on the other side. These are gonna take up any of the space.

You can see even when I'm trying to move it, that's real nice and solid. We're not gonna have to worry about his leaning side to side.Now the mats themselves are gonna be 24 inches in total length. We've already trimmed these to work with our RV. You can see we've got them riding pretty good, about an inch over top of the ground. This is what our flap looks like. This is the part that we cut off of the one that we have here. See it's a nice, solid, durable material. It has some flexibility to it. But, it's not like the thin rubber flaps that we see often installed.They've grooved the back. So, you can see this side is smooth. It looks like this. But the back that faces towards our wheels, they've grooved that. Now the grooves run up and down on the back side of our mat. So, they're kind of be sitting like this, and as debris comes and hits them that's gonna help to slow it down and direct it down and under our mat rather than have it just hit it, bounce off, and potentially roll under the mat.On the rest of it, we're gonna have good sturdy, steel construction. It feels nice and thick. Each end is gonna be capped off. You don't have to worry about water or dirt getting in there and causing rust. They've coated that all with a black power coat finish.Now, to get the RoadWing installed, you'll see that we've got the area right here that we're gonna be passing this shank on our item. We're gonna be installing this on our motor helm of the tow bar. This center section, you're gonna see in the expandable version. If you're using either the middle or the smaller size, this is gonna be solid. Your arms are gonna already be attached.As we slide this on, you see our bolts here. We're gonna have those closer to our vehicle. Just put it on loosely for now. We'll get this put back into position and we can resecure it. Now, we're gonna bring our section right up towards the rear of our vehicle. You're gonna have a little bit of a space here. We don't want it to be too far back, because then we'll run the risk of items bouncing over the top. You can see we've got our two bolts here on the bottom. We're gonna tighten those bolts down evenly there.Then, using a 14 millimeter wrench or socket, we can snug those up. You can see, we've installed our mat to our adjustable arm here. We need to slide our arms into each side of the center section. On the non-expandables, you're just gonna attach your mat using those four bolts. Now, once we have those started, we're gonna be able to move these in and out. Basically, these are gonna go anywhere from 102 inches down to 91 inches.I think you're gonna be best suited to have the end even with, maybe just past your bumper just depending on how wide that item is behind you. If you're a narrower kind of item, maybe you don't need all the protection on the outside. So, maybe you bring those in a little bit to give you a little more protection on the inside. Once we get those set where we want them, i
