Mudflaps Mud Flaps

I've seen some discussion of the rock tamers but I'm not a big fan of them. Does anybody know if just plain factory mud flaps will reduce or eliminate the potential water spray that, I read, can get up into the trailer through the air vents? I plan to have an alcan cover, but having an occasional rock miss the cover and hit the trailer won't be the end of the world to me. I've learned to embrace the word, patina. ;-)

I'll be towing with a Rav4.

Thanks.
 
We tow with a 2013 Outback and have the C.I. mud flaps. Traveled over 10k miles with them and no water issues in 560. Also am sure it has reduced "shots" to front of camper, we also have alcan cover...
 
Thanks but those are the rock tamers. I'm more curious about how well standard automotive mud flaps might work.

I guess I'm gonna find out. I just bought a set and plan to install them.
 
If you're worried about water getting in the vents, get some cheap-o electrical tape and stick it over the vents on the outside of the window. The theory is to take the tape off when you arrive in camp and then reapply when on the road again, but we forget to take it off - we're lucky if we replace it seasonally. Anyway, we haven't had any ill effects - we always keep our windows and vent fan open during cold weather to prevent condensation on the window glass which I think that's what the vents are for.
