Fender skirts

[MSCH]

I've owned 4 trailers over the years and every one of them had a problem with the plastic fender skirts breaking.
Did I say the plastic skirts are cheap junk?

I repaired my old Cedar Creek using these stainless steel skirts as the OEM plastic skirts were beyond the point of being salvaged.

currently on my 2017 Bighorn the skirts are exhibiting the beginning signs of falling apart.

not saying this is a permanent repair but I removed both skirts and applyed a coating of clear RTV in the area behind each screw hole, hoping this will slow the cracking ..

and then reinstalled the skirts along with a bead of black sealant along the edge.

finished, hope it holds up for a few more years..

Mine are doing the same thing. One more thing on the list.

Are they actually necessary?

only from an aesthetic standpoint. I used the stainless steel type in the top picture on my 2006 Cedar Creek.. this trailer will get them too if I keep it long enough for the fender skirts to fall aprt.

The stainless skirts look really nice, where did you get them?
