We had no protection on our motorhome or toad and no damage.
The last year we went we had good laughs all summer as we kept seeing a truck/5th wheel with a chain link fence on the front of his truck extending up into the 5th wheel front. I don't know what kind of stories he heard but I'm sure he never encountered the size rocks for that chain link. . . and to think that he was driving and looking through his windshield at chain link fencing while in the gorgeous country. That was the extreme.
We also saw many with bubble wrap and duct tape holding all kinds of things. I can't imagine what they found when removing all that tape.
You heard right - drive slow and watch for the frost heaves - usually well marked, but not always but you'll soon learn how to tell them from a distance. Enjoy your trip!
