Didn't work on mine Banjo.
Had a wide, 45 degree mesh barrier on the front of the trailer.
Still got a stone through the back window. Maybe it bounced off the barrier frame.
Just ask Ruth. The
Birdsville Track is notorious for this problem and Ruth says use all of them.
That's why I say, employ as many as you can.
Personally, I think the barrier does little more than protect the trailer, or van behind it from "gravel rash"
The beer carton certainly works, but you can't see out of it and if it rains, you end up with a blob. I think it is only a temporary solution, but it will suit some people.
I have now purchased a purpose designed, high impact acrylic screen from Obie's Outbackin
Melbourne. Worth the investment IMHO.
And I don't have any connection to Mike, or his business.
I just fluked their WEB site via a Google search.
I also plan to construct a full width mud flap across the back of the Jack, to provide a reduced chance of stones bouncing back into the vehicle paintwork and yes, the camper trailer has a mesh stoneguard as
well.
