Humie, are you talking about large sized mud flaps on the vehicle and shade cloth type stone guards on the van? I have a collection of photos of what we and others use, which i can email to you. Most are home made.

As a short term method, try attaching some shade clothe to the front of the van to the tow ball area, but keep it loose, if you pull it tight it acts as a tennis racquet. Usually works.

Hi Humie,

As a 'temporary' solution, you can attach a section of shade cloth under the A-frame of the van, as far back under as you can, then stretch it all the way to the back of the car, underneath. At the car end, use some ocky straps (or some kind of stretching elastic) to attach to the car bumper (or suitable attachment points) across the back of the car. You could cable tie the shadecloth at the car end to a broom handle or similar to keep it taut. This effectively creates a 'sheet' of shade cloth, from the back of the car, under the A-frame, to under the van so no rocks can find their way above. The ocky straps are to allow you to turn the vehicle without tearing the shadecloth.

I have seen this done and works quite effectively. Just a bit tricky to get it right so going around corners is catered for.

Hope that helps mate.

Cheers
Gerry
