Cool Front End Bug Protector

Does anyone know where I can find a good bug protector that can remain on my front protecting the paint and keeping bugs out of my Radiator? I have a 2020 Fleetwood Southward. I have a screen but it don't last. Thank you!

There is a lot of controversy about clear front end protection. Do a (front end protection) search on this site. This will give you some ideas about what is available.

I have Diamond Shield on my M H. So far it has worked well for me. It is easy to clean with soap and water. I also use 303 UV protectant on film to help extend the film life.

I don't have any extra protection for the radiator. The screen that came on the M H keeps out most of the bugs.

For my Chevy truck, I bought 2 small window screens from a hardware store and I was able to wire them in place between the radiator and front grill. When I wash the truck, I just spray through the grill and everything just slides off the window screen.
For the paint protection, I had a clear vinyl wrap put on by a auto body shop which has worked out very good to prevent rock chips.
I like everything about this truck except for the painted bumper, it should have been chrome plated to resist stone chips.

Back in 2008 in preparation for our first Alaska trip & anticipating smashing into plenty of bugs along the way I went to a home center & bought a roll of black screen wire & zip ties.

Eleven years later & three more trips to Alaska, that screen is still there. Bugs brush right off with a snow brush. Must have cost all of $5.
