ABSTRACT:
An adjustable mud flap assembly (10) which utilizes the transverse bar member (6) of a trailer hitch assembly (5) as the main support for the mud flaps. Mud flap assembly (10 and 11) has a pair of right and left L-shaped mud flap frame members being removably attached to the ends of the transverse bar member (6). Each L-shaped mud flap frame generally has a rectangular mud flap (12 or 22) removably attached thereto. By varying the radial disposition of the L-shaped mud flap frame member with respect to the transverse bar member (6), the position of the mud flap with respect to vehicle (1) can be changed. Additionally, utilizing the transverse bar member (6) of the hitch assembly (5) as the support base for mud flap assembly (10), necessarily requires that mud flaps (12 and 22) be positioned at the rear of vehicle (1). This disposes mud flaps (12 and 22) in the trajectory path of any projectile destined for the trailer 3.
