Received the road master rock shield and tow bar cover .. everything looks good and will make the install next week sometime..I want to thank everyone at etrailer for all of the help making my decision what product to buy .. thanks again. 644770
Product arrived quickly. It was well constructed. Watched the etrailer video and read through the instructions and started to install. The 2 3/8 by 1" bolts and nuts were missing otherwise I would have given it a 5 rating. Luckily I only live 1 mile from the hardware store so I went ahead and got 4 because they were only 35 cents each. Rest of installation went great and test drive was good looks like it should do the job. Ready for the trip and will follow up on performance. 525759
Michael R - 07/27/2019Very happy with the product, however I wasn't happy that a important part was missing from the box. 566991
Robert - 09/20/2019I wrongly ordered the RM-4700 model and had to exchange it for the RM-4750. Michelle at etrailer was excellent in providing a return authorization and reorder of the correct RM-4750 model. I received a full refund minus only $21.00 for return shipping which is certainly more than reasonable since this was my mistake. New product arrived promptly, but I was missing two 3/8"x1" bolts that were supposed to be included. Obviously, this was a mistake on the manufacturer's part not etrailer. Fortunately, I have a good selection of bolts and hardware and I had the exact type of bolts needed. Product has been installed and seems to be working as promised. 321529
We have towed our 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee over 15K miles behind our Class A motorhome in the past year. I'm happy to say that the tow defender did it's job well. Can't find a single rock chip on the jeep. 577426
Edward L - 11/01/2019The product works well and is constructed well. I gave it 4 stars because it mentions about being to close to the exhaust and causing damage to the fabric but doesn't talk about other possible concerns. I have a Tiffin 2018 Allegro Red motorhome. My ladder on the back of my motorhome interfered with proper operation of this part. My solution ending up being to cut off the lower section of my ladder. I have attached pictures so hopefully someone can see this as an issue before purchasing. 647695
I have not installed the Tow Defender because it would not fit my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee as advertised. Buried in the fine print is the requirement to buy an extension for my RV to keep the cloth from being too long, but also to measure and drill new holes in the toad mounting bar to match the lugs on my Blue Ox equipment. I would love to return it as it was never used, but Roadmaster won't take it back. 870369
Easy to install, fit as described. Very pleased with the quality. 866244
great service 863460
Robert S helped me order what I needed. He even made a call to the manufacturer to make sure their part would work with my base plates. This is truly going above and beyond. Excellent customer service. I felt confident with the order. 861035
I love this. It was easy to install and based on how dirty it gets, it seems to reduce the road dirt/rocks that could be hitting the front of my toad. I have used it to protect my tow vehicle on thousands of miles of towing and I don’t have one rock chip. It rolls up quickly and stores nice with the included straps. 829562
So Happy Here!!! Fair price, Great Quality, Everything fit perfectly and looks Great on my Grande Cherokee 804070
installed but haven't used it yet so hopefully it works as stated. easy to put together i followed video on web site only problem there is they skipped the part about installing the tarp on the rail 799596
The product is sturdy and easy to deploy. Excellent directions to install. And after utilizing a couple of times and getting comfortable with the process it's even easier to deploy and roll-up. 781999
I purchased the Defender to protect our new Equinox during our trip to Alaska. I wasn't sure how it would hold up to all the gravel roads and construction typical of Alaska roads. I was extremely satisfied with its performance and ease of how quickly it attaches to the toad. We now use it everytime we tow. I did have to modify the ladder on the motorhome because the lower loop rung hung below the level plane of the defender. It was an easy modification and worth the tradeoff for the Tow Defender. 778937
Just installed. Installation video was much better than the Roadmaster directions. Seems like it should greatly reduce debris on the front of my towed vehicle. Had to drill new holes in the rear arm per the instructions due to the wider spacing on my F150 tow brackets. 766282
I received my order sooner than expected. Great product …. great service …… Thanks very much 761760

Miranda B was very helpful and pleasant to work with. Product in great condition. I will have NO problem ordering other items from you. Thanks for the prompt service 749720
easy to install and works better than a shield 734318
Great product. It really helps protect the tow vehicle and is easy to use. The initial installation was simple as well. I had to drill some custom holes, but otherwise easy. Highly recommended product. 719312
Installed it on our 2019 Chevy Equinox on the back of our 2004 Itasca Meridian and everything fit as it should, easy to assemble, I will need to install an 8 inch extension to my receiver hitch to provide clearance for the exhaust pipe, looks good confident it will keep debris off of our new car. Thank you for the great service and great products. 615516
Rob - 03/31/2020Product seems to be as advertised. Hoping it will protect my toad. Etrailer has always been a great company to deal with. 565020
