Does anyone have pictures of the "Foretravel" working in stainless steel on the back mud flap? I am looking at having Foretravel made in cursive that will be about 6" high and 6' long to attach to rear mudflap. Would like to see some pictures if anyone has them!

That's not our coach...we're not rich enough to own a U320. 8) We're still using the old OEM flap with the painted lettering.
Just a Forum photo I found using the search tool.
The lettering everywhere reminds me of a Ford Explorer with Eddie Bauer advertised no matter where you look. I turned our mud flap around so it just shows black. Some people like broccoli, some don't.

Our "mudflap" was looking kind of beatup/bent from use by previous owners and sliding down the highway when a hanger broke.
So I cut off each end so the center was to the width of the coach frame. I then bolted that remaining center piece up tight below the bumper. I had to notch the rubber for the hitch but not a big deal. I wanted to retain a cover of some sort to hide all the hardware up between the frame rails. The bottom of the two large caster wheels are just visible if one stands back a ways from the coach.
The old chrome plated plates on the back of each mudflap on the duals were getting bad but the black rubber was still good. So I put a piece of what I cut off of the original stainless rear mudflap on each dual mudflap. Now the new wheel mudflaps are about 1" lower than the originals and won't rust like the originals.
Sorry, no pics as the coach is in storage until spring. (I always forget that part)
Our coach is a 320 and the mud flap looks like the actual flap on chucks actual coach. So your saying we're rich! I must admit your must be right, just our coach doesn't reflect that. Please don't tell the DW, She doesn't know how good we got it, "the coach" Lol

Chris how much will these cost, I may have to have you get a extra one if I can afford. I'll pick up in person sometime.
We have the new one with the stainless Foretravel. Our coach only had the "Foretravel" name in the one place under the driver / passenger so I replaced the painted Unihome ( beat up ) flap with a new FT one.
Can't have a nice coach with a beat up mud flap. I've seen some newer SOBs with bad flaps,, tacky..
But it will be interesting to see one done in cursive.
In 2018 when I rebuilt mine, Parts from FOT were 361 shipped. 64 for the 14"x93" rubber, 216 for the stainless and screws. The rest was shipping to the Houston area.. the new 1/4x2" flat bar at the top used for hanging was 20 bucks cut to size at my local steel supplier.

Sign shop may be cheaper??
Water cut stainless is really nice thou. I've got a project with my brother getting 288 feet of 1/4 inch aluminum cut. Maybe I can get a mud flap Comped? Wheels are turning

These will be cut with a laser-- edges smooth no spatter looks really nice
the expense is buying the stainless the cutting is not that expensive-- estimated under 50.00. He said it would take him longer to draw on the program than it would to cut out. I watched as he cut (I think) 20 pieces out of a 4' X 10'.X 3/16 sheet of stainless and the total cut time was less than 6 minutes for all the pieces--I was impressed--
Chris
This is the look I'm going for the black will be stainless
Chris
When you get parts do you get both half's? Might be able to get two parts for every cut.
Scott
I can ask, I don't know why that would not be possible.
