Most of the installations I've seen have a short bit of chain between the coach and the mud flap. Usually the flap is mounted forward of the rear bumper with the chain going up to the frame rails or some other brace at the back of the coach.

And, yes, you can be sure it will drag and you need to think about a mounting that will allow the flap to flip should you pull forward then back up while it is dragging. I've witnessed a couple of flaps (on SOBs) get slightly torn up at a campground as someone maneuvered with a mud flap trapped between the bumper and the ground.

After finishing up my project of "toad" connection and "toad" wiring I 

have moved on.  Latest project, a big ole mud flap on the back of the 

bus. I've got it on but I have a question about my instillation. The 

mud flap is connected to the bus by a piece of angle iron. Nothing in 

the directions discussed attaching this to the bus.  I drilled up thru 

the lower edge of the bumper and put a couple 1/4 inch bolts thru the 

angle iron which certainly did the job.  My concern is that this thing 

is certainly going to drag from time to time and I am concerned that it 

is attached too firmly to the bus. I think it should have more freedom 

to swing then the way I have it attached now.  So my question is how 

have you fellows fastened these things to your coaches?  It's about 

three inches off the road and I have a couple spots that I know its 

going to drag over. I was considering getting something like a hook and 

just hooking that thru the holes in the bumper, but then that would 

possibly allow it to get off the bus.  Idea's appreciated.
