• How to Pick Correct Roadmaster Tow Defender for Flat Tow Setup
  Hey Phillip, so to pick between the two tow defenders comes down to which style of Roadmaster base plate kit you have installed on your towed vehicle. If there's a crossbar between the arms of the tow bar then you need the part # RM-4700. If there is no crossbar then you'd instead want the part # RM-4750.

• Available Options for Rock Guards to Protect Towed Vehicle
  There are other options for protecting your towed vehicle other than the Roadmaster Guardian you mentioned. The Roadmaster Tow Defender, part # RM-4700 stretches between the RV and the towed vehicle, deflecting rocks downward before they can damage your vehicle. The Tow defender attaches to the tow bar and the quick disconnects on the vehicle base plates. We also have the Rock Tamers Mud Flap system, part # ERT00108. These flaps install on the tow bar, and are adjustable.
