Roo-Bar for Sprinter front?

In the West, deer dead all over the road--who hit them? What did they do to the vehicle? I have never seen a Sprinter w/slideout with a protection on front. Is this overKill? I have seen class B's with them, but not C-'s. Any vendor? Any experience with them? What materials? Thanks

From my experience 95+% of deer hits, with vehicles, happen at night.
Do you often drive at night ?
I spent 30+ years driving BC mountain roads at night to get from town to first my cabin and then my home; I only hit one deer, in all that time.
JMHO: Deer whistles , yes , Roo-Bar , overkill ; and if you do your own servicing you'll grow to hate it.

Get some deer "whistles" alerts they work. Kansas Highway Patrol put them on half their cars to see if it made any difference and it did, and has equipped their entire fleet ever since.

OK
If you want a RooBah or a Bullbah the only place to get a REAL one is Down Under mate.
If you pick the phone up and call the Auzzies ask for a Bullbah/Roobah like saying Rhubarb but without the "B" !
Then you won't make the gaff and sound like a knob as Mike Rowe did! (from Its a Dirty Job )

All the best and check this out!
