Welcome Ati!
Can you post a picture of the "thing" and post it in the album section? That would probably help identify the unknown attachment!

Well most MH's are girls and they like to be covered ALL the time. Really it is just another type of mudflap, keeps rocks off the toad, or that is the intent. I don't think there is anything made that will keep a toad clean, too much vortex action in the back of a MH going down the road.

It protects what your are towing, and others that are behind you also, from flying objects off the tires.

My theory is that the skirts do a better job of allowing water to drip back down to the road, because of all the extra surface area, than a flat mudflap would have. While going down the road in a rainstorm the moisture thrown from the tire hits a mudflap and large amount blows around it, but when it hits the skirt, it gets more of it becomes absorbed by the skirt and runs down.
