This effectively keeps all of the dirt and water from getting into the wheel well storage areas. I have used this on several different campers with good success.

I used (closed cell) foam rubber pipe insulation. This comes in various sizes at any hardware store.

In order to keep the foam in place, I ran a bead of RTV (the GE silicone II is crap, use silicone I-the stuff that stinks!) along the bottom of the camper exterior bottom and pushed the foam into snugly into place.

Without the RTV, the foam will work its way out from movement between the truck and the camper.
On the front and rear, I used thick foam weatherstripping and RTV.

Hope this is useful !
