This is what I need to protect my windshield

It's part of life, but not a fun part. Stay far back if you can. Keep a nice long distance and also if you are on a 2 lane highway with a service road that you can halfway drive on, move over a bit. It also helps with wind gusts.

I've tried replying to this thread on several occasions over the past couple days. Every time I include a link the system will not accept the post. Is there something I'm missing? Are links no longer allowed?

I did saw someone with a screen in Alaska, a small German or French RV.

Looks like and Australian outback bus. They call the set up a Roo-Bar as in kangaroo. Keeps the critters from coming thru the windshield at 120KPH. The road train have them to protect the radiator. Kangaroo, Australian for White Tail Deer.

Certainly will help but will be a custom job and the associated cost. Something else to check is any traffic safety down checks. Not sure about how this would work in the Great White North but down south they sometimes can get a bit fussy concerning anything that might, could or does obstruct a clear view forward. If you do get one made just have it designed so you can remove the screen in the field just incase. Removable will make cleaning the windshield a bit easier also.

I tried a few new things when I am on a winter road with gravel and still got 2 hit in about 100 miles.
1. Do not let the big truck pass you, here there are locked at around 62 MPH so it is not too hard to keep up.
2. If a car or especially a pick up passes you, decelerate quickly and move to the right.
3. When you cross a big truck, move to the right of the road and decelerate. Same as with a motorcycle, they tell you to move to the right when a truck is comming. It does make a big difference with the wind blow from the truck, I figure it would make a difference with rocks.
4. If possible, ride when the road is clear of snow and sand, still I got 2 rocks going on a road near Quartzsite Arizona.
5. Do not follow close to anyone, but especially big trucks or pick up, more distance if they do not have mud guard.
6. Stay clear of dirty truck with dirty tires.
7. Stay home!!

I think they sand our roads with 3/4 minus. Just about everything i have owned has needed a windshield every year and sometimes a few a year and i only replace when the crack is in line of sight.

I went to AK too with the truck camper and up to Deadhorse twice, not one chip. One thing is that there is not much traffic on AK roads and on the Dalton, trucks really slow down when you cross them.

The windshield on the pick up is about 1/2 the one on the Class A.

3 rocks came from car and pickup after they passed me, 2 from truck while passing. 2 came from heavy truck comming the oposite way on roads with abrasive in winter.

I am thinking of tryin some Weathearable Film on the windshield.

Perhaps you're following the vehicles in front of you too closely. 🙂 We drove to spend the summer in Alaska and didn't get one rock chip - even on gravel roads.

And/or slow tourists.

Looks like it works pretty good for moose also.

4 of the rocks hit on the bottom of the windshield.

You'll spend a bunch of money and rock #7 will go just over the top of it. That's life 🙂
