Review on πŸ›‘οΈ Lippert Components 1346281 Flex Guard Double Kit: Enhanced Protection in Standard Black, Complete with Hardware by Douglas Norton

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The design is imperfect.

Finally found! I had no idea what this thing was called, but after many name calls, here it is! This item is a direct replacement for the original and as another review says I had to cut each of the loops to get the wires through but then all I had to do was tie them together between the wires. Latches to hold them in place and still allow some movement when opening and closing the breech. Now my only problem with this item is having to replace it first. My father bought his very expensive fifth wheel bike a little over a year ago. It was brand new when he got it and when I took it on holiday with it over the summer I noticed that even his wire guide was starting to break in the same place. It has dynamic mount on one side and static mount on the other. This static mount is where they break and where this new one will break again in the future. This is a design flaw that I have a quick and easy fix for. All you have to do is leave the existing pivot in place and cut the existing, broken rail about 6 inches from the pivot. Then overlap the solid end of the new one over the existing lead you are cutting. Overlap about 4 inches and use a few machine screws and nuts to secure them together. Then install the new bracket on the end where the original static end was attached and the weak link is gone! You might never have to worry about that again!

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
