    Thinking of installing mudflaps on 5th wheel

    I'm not sure it's worth the trouble, and I haven't seen a camper with mudflaps mounted behind tires. I am tired of grit and road grime on my stabilizing jacks, bumper, and dump valves. I can rig up something, but I wanted some feedback. What thinkest thou? I always watch my added weight too.

    Flagstaff 5th Wheel Hitch Elevation

    My camper looks a little nose-high after switching to the 2500, but I only have about 5” clearance above the bed rail. My question is, will the axles evenly distribute the weight of the camper, or will the rear axle carry more? There’s a slight crown in the parking lot in the pic.
