    I used a protect a tow type debris protector when I went to Alaska along with a windshield protector. It worked, but after several weeks of having to remove and install it to drive the tow car especially in the rain and muddy underneath I ended up just leaving it in the trunk and using the wind shield protector. Unless you drive an a lot of dirt roads the mud flaps and bumper skirt keep most of the debris from hitting the tow car. I found by trimming about 4 ins off the bumper skirt so that it would not hit the dirt road when going over bumps to be the most practical way to keep debris from hitting the car.
  • I have used the Roadmaster Guardian since 1999 and have been very happy with it.
  • Truck mud flap directly behind each set of duallies, riding about 4" off the pavement. ST
  • I had one of those RoadMaster Shields that worked quite well until the motor home kicked up one of those standard's base'es(without the tall part attached, the flat heavy base) which proceeded to break through the shield and then take off my driver side mirror on the toad. I suppose it could have been worst...ie windshield? There was no fixing the shield either.
