If you have ever experienced a blowout while pulling your RV, then you already know the endless anxiety that comes with the aftermath.
if you haven't experienced a blowout, well let's just say it can be a little stressful. After all the cursing and damage assessment, you'll need to drag it to the shop, battle insurance agencies, and tell your wife and kids you'll try again next year.
Blowouts happen all the time, blowing a jagged hole right through any idealized vision you had for your RV trip this year.

The quick answer is, most likely. With that being said it really depends on your trailer. First you will be asked to choose if you have a Single Axle, Tandem Axle or Triple Axle Trailer. Then, once you purchase we will ask you about the specific measurements and configuration of your trailer and send you the correct system based on your needs.
The short answer is yes, installation is straight forward. You will need to remove the wheel/tire and brake drum to access the hardware required to install RV-DE-FENDER®. For more info, check out this video to learn more.
Yes, as long as both trailers share the same axle size.
RV-DE-FENDER® is designed to bolt on to the axle using existing holes, no cutting, welding or grinding is necessary. If there is not enough clearance, we may recommend a lift kit.
*In some cases you may need to trim the fender flair depending on application.
G rated tires still blowout.
Recently a family friend had a complete blowout of his 14 Ply G rated tire that was less than 1 year old. The impact tore through the floor and damaged plumbing lines. The initial estimate came in around $5,000.00 but could have been completely avoided with RV-DE-FENDER®.
Tires have the ability to delaminate and still hold pressure. It is possible for a tire to come apart, damage your trailer without notifying your TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System).
This can actually be worse than a blowout, because you may not know there is a problem until miles down the road.
In our testing, we have seen no difference in temperature using the RV-DE-FENDER® vs not having it.
Warning:
RV-DE-FENDER® tire blowout protection system is designed to REDUCE damage to RV in tow caused by tire debris resulting from the blowout of a tire on the RV in tow. It is NOT designed to provide protection to the RV in tow from any obstruction or debris on any roadway such as wood, furniture, metal, animals or other.
RV-DE-FENDER® highly recommends checking the conditions of all tires on your vehicle and RV in tow prior to any road trip. We also recommend the use of quality TPMS for added protection.
Exceeding recommended speed limits can increase the chances of tire blowouts and or accidents. We may also post updates on our blog from time to time.
