Joe....I can only be concerned about so much. How do you keep the Protect A Tow from being torn up by a road gator???
I'm pretty particular about my cars. I've been using the Road Wrap for almost two years and no damage. Most debris is going to skip off of the toad, not embed itself in the vehicle. The wrap protects what hits and skips off.

Don
1. Don't hit road gators
2. If it is torn up by a road gator but protects the toad then it has done it's job. The fabric would be fairly inexpensive to replace.

Haven't had that problem in 5 years of use.

Dean, I had a local upholstery shop make mine just like the Protect-a-Tow, thinking I would save money! WRONG! Yes, you'll probably have to buy it direct from them.

And worth every cent of that!
BTW, I seem to remember that they offer different sizes, depending on you MH and toad.

Yes they offer a standard length and a longer version. I ordered the standard size. It was too short. A quick call and they said return it and they made the swap at no charge to me. First class outfit and product.

Yup, you want it long enough to go well up under the front of the toad for maximum protection!

So with a 3910 country coach and a 14 yukon, would you be safe to say I would need the longer size?

It depends on your towbars. I would get it hooked up, ready to tow, and then measure from the rear of the MH to about 6" to 12" underneath the Yukon. I would much rather have it too long than too short! Just be sure you have a place under the front of the Yukon to put the anchors.
