- down_homeExplorer IIA few years ago a family from California had the front of their Pace Arrow, I think, destroyed when they hit an Elk, in Colorado.
Lots of deer around here and elsewhere
I think some version of that guard would be a smart investment.
Would have to have a custom one made of course. There is probably someone out there making them. - Also great for the dummies that pass you, pull in front of you, and then slow down.
Looks like it came from a Kenworth or one of the other semis. - SnoBearExplorerI put one on our truck conversion 3 or 4 years ago. Hopefully I'll never get to test it out...
- past-MIdirectorExplorerThere is very little frame support in the front of a MH to attach a cow catcher like that to and in an vehicle accident will cause more damage then stop. It will work for animals and low speed bumps. The cap is designed to take a lot of the energy in a collision. Go into any RV body shop sometime and look at the damage and what little metal support is in the front. It's far easier to repair/replace a cap then repair frame damage!
- The_TexanExplorerI don't know about yours, but my motorhome has 6" rail frames right up to the very front of the coach, on each side. The 8kw Onan is set on slides mounted to those rails and that is pretty stout in my book.

Agree, ask the guy that pulled in front of our mh on the interstate than immediately stopped. You'd be amazed what a 7.5KW diesel generator can do to the back of an SUV. - pkunkExplorer

That's a gasser. No place to brace the thing. - Flyfisherman128ExplorerI was thinking of putting a snow plow on my rig.
- Lar_sExplorerI've seen one on a Blue Bird. Wish I had one when we hit the deer in Ala last Mar. Motor home has been in the shop now for a month, wait, 5 weeks, getting 20k worth of damage fixed.
- vtbigExplorerI wonder if it is hinged at the bottom.
