Blue Ox RV Underskirt

[MikeT]

I recently bought a Blue Ox RV Underskirt. So far it really seems to work very well. Installation was fairly simple, and did not take very long.
On our last trip we had a tractor trailer explode his engine about 1/3d of a mile in front of us. When we drove through his oil on the highway, only a couple of drops got onto the car. It also seems to deflect road spray in the rain, as I can see behind me better in the MH mirrors, and the car and rear of the MH do not get as dirty as before without it. I had the RockSolid on my other MH, but it did not prevent the spray from covering the car and rear of the MH.

So far I'm very pleased with this product.

We use a Protect-A-Tow which looks almost identical to your Blue Ox Underskirt. Same results, works great.

No other company in the towing product business is as visible as Blue Ox. If you had some type of issue with your under skirt, I'm sure that there would be parts for it in the support trailer or they would ship and install the replacement part before the rally was over.

Congratulations on the new under skirt it looks great!

mike, how do they attach to the back of the motorhome, and to the front of the car?

Bob, I had an Under-R-Skirt before Blue Ox bought them. It attached to the rear of the coach with 4 snap latches and eye bolts mounted to the rear bumper. The car had 3 eye bolts and attached wit snap latches and small bunbe cords. It also had an epandable bar the stretched across the skirt and rode on top of the tow bar.

We tried several ways to keep our dinghy from getting rock chips and this was the best.

We could not use a standard cut skirt and had to have a custome one made to fit our rig.

Thanks Ken. Just curious, like you I was thinking about making or getting one made also.

As I have a rear exhaust coach I was shown by one of the Blue Ox team members how to take the corner of the skirt closest to the exhaust pipe and bend it back in a flap,away from the exhaust.
If you don't do this in a rear exhaust situation you stand the risk of the exhaust melting the fabric.
It's a relatively simple looking evolution though,as you simply bend the corner back in a triangle and then affix it back to the skirt.
This allows the exhaust air to dissipate vertically.
