Toad Protector
I am looking for a guard that will protect my toad. My wind shield is getting pitted from road debris.
If anybody knows of one that can be purchased of Amazon could I get a link?
Our local trailer suppliers want to take the family to the Bahamas on holidays and have made it clear they will not stop till my bank account is depleted.
But they are nice about it!

If you have one of those nice looking full width flaps at the back of your Tripple E, try removing it and letting it reside in your garage while you put on a few thousand miles on your MH and toad.
I betcha your gonna find there is no more damage to your toad.
Try this before you spend your hard earned cash on a guard, but, if your still convinced you need one, I have a Roadmaster that I no longer use since removing my mudflap. I'll make you a deal you can't refuse.

Try this one Coastline RV and Offroad We've used two of these on two different toads and would buy another in a heartbeat if the current one ever gets unusable. We go to Alaska every other year and tun a few hundred miles a year on gravel and dirt. And, NO, it doesn't damage the paint unless you never clean it. We put it on 2 brand new pickups A Colorado and a Silverado and never had a problem

Do you have a good set of flaps directly behind the rear duals? Set at about 4" off the ground at travel height, they will be all you need.

I would prefer something quicker to install. But it sure looks like it would do the job.

If it's not raining, open the doors and place an old blanket across the windshield, with the ends inside the car, close the doors. When it rains it will drip in the car.

For info, the Coastline Cover installs in less than 5 minutes by one person and about 2-3 minutes for 2 people.

I've used protect-a-tow for several years and vehicles. It works and simple to install and it works. Would not change.
