Good job getting the order to me in tim e!
Installed very easily. have not towed with it yet. but I'm sure it will be helpful.
Product was well packaged.Delivery was delayed by two days. I have unpacked it, but have not yet had the opportunity to install and adjust it.
Quick install. Easy to use. Have gone cross country twice since buying. No problem with damage on toad. But periodically check bolts. Would suggest locktite on bolts, as I lost one on the first two.
great service & quailty parts deliverd on time, very good experiance
Excellent product. Installed just like the instructions said it would.
WORKS REAT EASY TO USE ONCE INSTALLED.
Product arrived within a few days. Installation was a breeze. Be sure to check the tension and take the time to adjust if necessary.
Haven't used it on the road but installation was a breeze. Material looks heavy, well made
Excellent protection for the front of your towed vehicle. Easy to install and use.
Rock protector came quickly, packaged well. One part did not fit as hole was drilled too small. Needed a drill press to correct problem.
Too soon for road test, looks like it will do nicely.
Used on Alaska trip to protect towed vehicle. Served it’s purpose and protected car windshield and front from rock chips from RV.
Easy to install and worked as intended
Have only used this a handful of times (we don't flat-tow that often), but overall it seems to be a great product. Took my time setting up, checking turns, adjusting, etc. and all went well. Very happy with this. On a 2014 Fleetwood Discovery 40G towing a 2018 GMC Yukon Denali.
I am glad you have contacted me for my thoughts
I really like the product but find it is too long from the motorhome to the tow vehicle, and we have had to put clips on it to stop it from flopping while towing. I also find the product very heavy to lift, as I have had surgery on my right wrist, and do believe it could be made from lighter structure material.
I also have purchased a road master invisbrake system and can’t say enough good about that product, I really like how it works and would recommend it to anyone, it is well worth the price.
Thanks
Great customer service. Three days after I order the shield it arrived. A customer representative called me twice to let me know when it was shipped and a follow up to verify it had arrived. Haven't gone on a trip yet, but easily installation. The tow bar I attached the shield to was the Falcon/All Terrain (6000 unit). The shield model number was Roadmaster Tow Defender (4700).
Got my defender the day before our trip. Installed very easy and performed as I had hoped it would. Made the trip and cannot find one rock chip.Would recommend this for anyone that tows. Thanks for a great product.

This product is easy to install as long as you follow the enclosed instructions. I have not used the Tow Defender today. However, I have friends that have used it with great results. Typically, on a class A motorhome you have mud guards that should protect your tow vehicle but they actually create a bigger problem. I purchased this Tow Defender to compliment the Roadmaster Shield which I currently own. The problem with the shield is that rocks bounce off the shield and hit the rear of the motorhome. The Tow Defender Screen will stop this.
The protector screening is well made. the instructions were not very clear nor were the supporting pictures but the schematic view made it fairly easy to assemble and install with some figuring out. after finishing the install I saw that with the current height setting of the support arms, my RV ladder would rub the left support arm and therefore quickly wear out the fabric, so I took it apart and dropped it down to the bottom holes and its better now.
its a shame there is not an easier way to remove it from the RV than to remove the entire roadmaster hitch from the RV. that is a downside and I may well modify it for that. All in all, this will prevent much of the rock damage in the future and will hopefully prevent me from acquiring so much road tar from pothole repairs. I recommend it and will update this review after I actually use it on the tow car in a few weeks..
