Rock protection for toad.
What are you using to protect the front of your toad? I have a Tiffin DP towing a 2015 Chevy Equinox.

We tow a Wrangler, and use an 8' x 6' HD mesh cargo net to cover the nose (lights and rad). It's secured with bungee cords hooked under the Jeep, and through it's numerous brass grommets.
We fold the 8' length in half to 4' of vertical double protection, and place one 6' edge along and and secure it in place just above the knuckles for the tow bar. That covers the lights/rad and the top edge of the hood. The top 6' edge is secured to the outside mirrors, again using bungee cords through the brass grommets and wrapped and secured around the mirror arms.
It cost us about C$45 for the HD mesh net, and a few bucks for the bungee cords at Harbor Freight. HF probably has similar HD mesh cargo nets. We got ours in Canada at Princess Auto.

Sorry I haven't taken any pictures of it in use. If the weather ever improves....
It's simple and does what the other store bought solutions do for a lot less $$$.
We have towed with nothing and have seen very minimal evidence of stone hits. Maybe we were just lucky?
