Rear rock guard

Hello everyone, I have a 2016 Thor Vegas 25.2 and I am thinking about adding a rock guard. I want to tow my toad and I want to protect it from rocks and road stuff. Has anyone added one to theirs. Did it help and was it tough to add.

i towed my 2016 Jeep all last season with my 25-2 with no rock guard, including 6 miles down rock road with no chips or other damage. large factory mud flaps work good.

I added one of these....
Splash Stop Protective Brush - 22 Inches x (2) 4 foot sections https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009MPC7IC..._RnbDa4BrAhPaO. Drilled a few holes in bottom of bumper and trimmed at bottom. It helped keep the toad a little cleaner and I had no dings (which is more than I can say for my rv windshield)

Thank you 2016Vegas, I did not have a guard on my 2011 Coachmen and my Jeep felt the pain. I have not towed with this motorhome but I hate to skin up this Toad (2016 Ford Focus Titanium). It sits lower to the ground and has a way bigger windshield!

We have used a Protect-A-Tow skirt for the about 10 years. It goes between the motor home and our towed car. I have heard (and believe) that those grass hula skirt types actually kick up small rocks. I have seen those and the solid ones sail high on coaches on the road. The Protect-A-Tow keeps the rocks under the car.
