stoneguard ideas
Below you
will find a few different ideas to help save the paintwork & glass on the rear
of your vehicle when traveling on dirt roads as well as damage to the front of
your camper trailer. Stone guards range from
horizontally mounted shade cloth blinds to shade cloth deflectors on the front
of the camper itself.
Other ideas
include commercially available
high
impact polycarbonate glass protectors to a homemade piece of
cardboard stuck to the rear glass with duck tape. There are also rubber flaps
hung off the back bumper of the vehicle to ground level.
A
combination of a few ideas below may make all the difference.
Cardboard
or plywood glued onto the glass with silicone.
A horizontal shadecloth blind to stop rocks from bouncing up.
Another well
positioned horizontal blind not only protects the rear of the vehicle, but the
front on the trailer as well.
Shadecloth guard
positioned across the front of the camper & angled down.
Another shadecloth stone guard which
is tapered on the sides & is designed to deflect stones down & away from the
front of the camper. This guard does not interfere with vehicles turning circle.
A great idea for a front mounted stone deflector on Grey & Kerryn's Tvan.
Shadecloth
guard with mud flaps mounted. Make sure the guards position does not interfere
with the vehicles turning circle & brake the tail lights.
