Well,
Been there done that, more than once. Yep, sometimes a blowout, can cause some serious damage. As for the mud flap, if yours is tore up pretty good, you can consider some replacement generic types from Napa Auto Parts. I think I paid around $20 for two but, it's been a while so, a phone call would get answers on that for ya.
As for the structural stuff above and or behind that blowout area, I'm not sure of any "Kit" as, about 99.99% of most motorhomes are built differently so, the repair of the *behind* area of those duals, is gonna be individual for your coach. You'll have to analyze just kind of materieals, i.e. angle iron/aluminum, sheet metal, wood, etc. will be needed. And, you'll more than likely need some sealant to seal all that up from the elements/mud etc. when you're all done with the repairs.
