I happened to see that you are towing your car behind your vehicle. Have you considered how to protect it? When April and I wne to Alaska in 1985, our tent trailer got chewed up pretty good on the front due to the gravel being kicked up. I've seen some people use big mudflaps, but some of it may get thru.

Just a thought. (I gotta believe that more parts of it are paved now.)
:lol:

Surprisingly, there was little damage to our tow vehicle while traveling Alaska. We already had an apron on the front end and it seemed to have taken the brunt of the hits. What we didn't realize was the windshield damage to the tow vehicle. There were a dozen or so little "ticks" that we didn't really notice until we got home and then only in certain light angles. In any case, we replaced the windshield last week. I haven't looked that closely at the MH windshield, but will inspect in a couple weeks . . . Fred
