lappir Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 I searched for the information in the title and came up with nothing. I have a small broken reflector at the end of my truck since I haven't yet applied the reflective tape to the end we cut off earlier this year. I have the tape and was all set to apply when I decided to look and see how "Spacecraft" applied the tape. I noticed they have the "Red" on the end facing the front of the vehicle and the "White" at the back. I was thinking I'd put it with the red marking the end would be correct. Am I thinking incorrectly. Googled application of DOT tape, but see nothing to specifically indicate, but I do see the red seemingly marking the end of each trailer in the illustration. Is that what you see too?

Jaydrvr Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 If doesn't matter. I think the spec is to have 50% coverage minimum of the tape. I think so.... I didn't look it up and my memory isn't what it once was.. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Look at David Dixon's site, RVNerds. I believe it's covered there. If memory serves, DOT tape only applies to commercial trailers. That said, safety is never a bad thing.

lappir Posted November 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 Thanks, I put some at the end of my truck behind the axle where the frame is sticking out. It's not pretty, but I can see it now.
