Body Block Shield (Summit Products)

Have been considering getting this Body Block shield installed on our Phaeton.

Does anyone have this one or a similar product? If so, have you had any issues with it or noticed any additional heat buildup from running the generator while driving?

Body Block Shield

Would prefer a shield without the cutouts for the headlights, but the Summit rep said that isn't legal and it would cause glare when driving at night.

(Apologies to anyone who already read this question on TRVN. I don't usually post the same thing on both boards.)

As always, imparting your knowledge is greatly appreciated.

  • They were the "hot" setup many years ago on I believe Country Coach. When you saw one in a campground you knew it was an expensive coach. They soon died out and I didn't even know they made them anymore. They look nice, but like anything else, they'll take some work to keep them clean.
  • My neighbor had one on his coach and he said it was just OK. I always thought they looked cool but they're heavy and the ones I looked at would only mount on the generator cap so you could open it. I didn't feel there was enough "stuff" there to hold it in place securely....Dennis
