Mud flap Ideas?

Hi all, I notice the rear mud flaps on the bongo are some what inadequate, the rear of the van gets covered when it rains.
Also as I intend to tour towing my motorbike on a trailer, I would like to keep the worst off , rather than turn up with 2 dirty vehicles.

Any ideas to improve the mud flaps would be appreciated.

Also I have been looking at vans and lorry's that have a brush arrangement, any one know what it is called or a supplier.

Yea, keep watching ebay. I'm sure I saw some more on there recently too. You'd think something DIY could be knocked up reasonably too looking at the ones in JRs link

I agree - the standard mud flaps don't seem to do a very good job.

I think the problem is deeper than just better mud flaps. The aerodynamics of the Bongo is well known as a "brick".
Unfortunately, this creates a low pressure area immediately behind it, drawing in the rain and road dirt.

Don't know what the answer is - better mudflaps MAY help matters - but I doubt they will eliminate the problem.
