Dan and Phil Schiebout are brothers from Iowa who have spent many hours creating and improving products that make life a little easier for them and others. They grew up on a farm in Northwest Iowa, so they have had a lot of experience in fixing and redoing. They both have other businesses and are committed to working hard and being successful. About 5 years ago they both had newer boats and decided to go fishing on the Missouri River. On their way to their destination, they ran into some road repair. Workers had just put down fresh oil and rock on the road and needless to say, their boats took the brunt of the construction. When they got home, they where both very angry at what damage was on their investment and decided they needed to do something to protect their boats. They both have a sense of inventing and creating because of their farm background. They put their heads together and scrounged materials they had and after many changes and much testing, they came up with the idea of the Towtector. They knew that their mud flaps where not doing the job because a lot of the road debris came between the wheels. They needed something that would span the full width of their towing vehicle and not blow in the wind when they where going down the highway at a high speeds. They also wanted something they could remove when they where not towing. Soon they had people asking about the Towtector they had on their vehicles and wanted to know if they could have one also. The interest in the product made them realize that their invention was something they should have patented. After 4 years of changing and perfecting, the Towtector has been successful throughout the U.S., Canada, and Australia.
