Stone protection for tow vehicle
What is recommended to protect tow vehicle from getting chipped paint? Rock guards or car bra?

The bras are a PITA. You need to clean the vehicle before putting the bra on or the grime will scratch your paint. I tried one and soon got tired of that routine.
If you've got a mudflap, make sure it's 4-5 inches off the ground on level pavement. If you've ever driven close behind a big truck, you know it picks up all sorts of debris as it's going down the road. The cars behind get plastered. The same thing happens behind your MH.
The guards that stand upright on the towbar are a pain to deal with and some are pretty heavy.

It's easy and quick to put on and take off. Rolls up and fits in a small bag about 4" by 3' for storage. Because I've got a tail dragger, I put it on top of the towbar to keep from putting any more holes in it.
