Best Way To Protect Toad

We recently purchased a new toad to pull behind our motor home. The last one we had, which we towed without anything to protect it from rocks and dirt, got pretty dinged up, as you'd expect. I'm researching how best to prevent that from happening again. The options seem to be:

• An extended mud guard;
• The Blue Ox KarGard or something similar (like the Protect-A-Tow);
• Something like the Roadmaster Guardian;
• A "bra" for the front of the vehicle;
• Something like the "film" products placed on new cars for transport;
• And a variety of jury-rigged systems (like using bungee cords to hold camping mats to the front of the toad).

I'm sure there are other options I'm missing.

We'd like something that's effective (the threshold consideration) and relatively easy to use. (Although I'm aware of the inverse relationship between those two considerations.) I've found several threads on the topic but they are older and don't seem to cover the full gamut of possibilities. We're using a Blue Ox tow bar, if that matters. Anyway, we'd appreciate hearing your experience with various options.

Thanks,
