I did not like the way my fender skirts looked on my fifth wheel so I took a tube of white caulking and sealed along the top of the skirt and to my surprise what a difference it made in the apperance...hope it holds up

I waqs driving down the highway last summer and checked my sideview mirrors and noticed my fender skirt flapping in the wind. Pulled over and found that the road vibration had caused a number of the screws holding the skirts to the sidewall to come loose and a couple were missing. This spring I will either be replacing the screws with bolts and lock nuts or apply caulking to keep them from vibrating loose.

Hi all, the fender skirts on my springdale were kinda floppy, made some braces from frame outrigger down to lower part of fender. just 1/8x1 alum. strap twisted and bent to fit with a few screws& bolts. firmed things up real well.__Lou--

I've owned 2 cougars and they both had areas around the fender skirts that flapped in the breeze at freeway speeds. I secured them with safety wire to the adjuster bolts. I drilled a small hole in the sheetmetal next to the adjuster bolt and secured with wire. Works great.
