Stoneguard-Deflector for Dirt Road Caravan

This is not really the answer you are requiring. Out here (in the real outback) the only thing to stop your van being stone damaged and more importantly, the back windscreen of your vehicle, is to cover it with something. We recommend beer cartons for the back windscreen (good to drink and reasonably cheap cover and we can tell what state you come from by the brand) - caravans come in here with the front covered in - blankets, tape, cartons, perspex, plastic, garbage bags etc. I do believe we (again) are becoming a little too precious about these things. However, please do not come back at me by saying that YOUR (and I use the plural) particular web, net under tow-bar thing is the best - I see about 4 or 5 per week that are broken. Must be the special gibber stones here. Just my bit and I apologise for not giving the correct answer. Cheers.

Look up the campertrailer web site and ask advice there.

goodday roscoe
fortunately i had a good neighbour to make my full front cover can be made from a variety of materials
ours was made from 2 sheets of a thick vinyl and filled with padding and sewn up (internally waterproof) held on with 4 large press studs no more stone marks on front of pop top this was a full height stone gaurd he also knocked up two rear window protectors from some thick underlaystuff and sewed on a couple of bits of velcro to hold them on .going to have to suck up as we have bought a new van .if he cant do it i am looking at a canvas place who should be able to make something .we never worried about taking it off for an overnight stop .,

Recently met a couple that had a very nice stone guard on the front of a Jayco Freedom. He had designed it himself and had it manufactured then powder coated. It used a mess welded to a frame then bolted to the A Frame and front subframe. Perhaps you could seek the help of a engineering/fabricating firm to help with the design.

Another option is to fit full width mud/stone flap to the rear of your vehicle as it prevents most of the stones getting to the van. Heavy weight rubber screwed or bolted to rectangular box steel and attached to the rear of the vehicle.

My experience has not necessarily been damage to the front of my van but the stones tend to flick up onto the rear of the car from the van and can potentially damage the rear window and roof.

Happy Caravanning
