Busy Bee Brushware has developed the ROCK OFF® Caravan Stone Guard Brush – to help stop rocks kicking up and damaging your vehicle of caravan.  Fitted behind your 4WD vehicle mud flaps, ROCK OFF acts as a secondary line of defence against stones and bounce-back.

How frustrating for Aussie Travellers – their shiny new caravan, camper or boat peppered with unsightly dings and stone chips? And how often do you hear that someone’s travel experience has been set back by stones bouncing back and smashing the back window of their vehicle?

ROCK OFF® Caravan Stone Guard – brush that you mount under your vehicle. Or fit to the back of your 4WD vehicle.  Protects your Caravan from stone kick up when you are on the dirt highways. Our unique bristle design of our brush strip allows for greater airflow and less drag than traditional mud flaps.

Proudly licenced with the Australian Made Campaign official logo. So be wary of inferior imitations.

What is it?

Your ROCK OFF is Polypropylene plastic fibre manufactured into heavy duty HDPE backing. (High Density Polypropylene).  The backing is 45mm high and 25mm thick.  And the bristles are “staple-punched” in a 2-row staggered pattern – provides a strong and dense bristle brush.  Often used as a spray suppressant brush for farming and harvesting machinery. Fitted behind your vehicle means that stones and rocks kicked up from the gravel road hit the brush and deflect back down to the road.  Helps to stop stone chip damage to the front of your caravan.

Comes in a range of sizes and bristle lengths to fit at the back of your vehicle or under your caravan for good protection while travelling in the Australian Outback.

What Makes The ROCK OFF Stone Guard For Caravans Different From Mudflaps?

There are a few critical differences between ROCK OFF stone guard for caravans and traditional mud flaps.

  • Less drag. ROCK OFF’s brushes are far lighter than mud flaps, allowing greater airflow and creating less drag.
  • Absorbs impact. Mudflaps tend to bounce stones off in unpredictable directions, whereas ROCK OFF’s bristles absorb the impact of the rocks, taking the force out of them.

ROCK OFF caravan stone guards is also different from spray suppressants. Spray suppressants are traditionally found on trucks, trailers, and buses. They’re designed to reduce the amount of water picked up by trucks, thereby improving visibility for other road users. ROCK OFF camper trailer stone guard has softer bristles, more flexible backing, and is far stronger than spray suppressants as it was developed to absorb the impact of rocks.

Fitting tips for your ROCK OFF®

A couple of tips we can give you:

  • HDPE plastic does not have a grain.  This means that, even though it is a very solid backing, it does flex. So you will need a Metal Angle bracket or C channel for structural support, particularly when you are mounting onto the back of your vehicle.  Without the structural support, you may experience vibration or shuddering at higher speeds.
  • You can easily mount the brush. Just mark and drill the backing of the brush that is above where the tufts are stapled. Then you can bolt the brush to the Metal structural support.
  • Measure the overall drop from where you plan to mount the Brush. Then take off 100mm for clearance to the road. And take off 45mm for the backing of the brush.  That will be the “brush trim length” that you need to go with

  • Customer’s feedback is that the brush can be mounted with anywhere from 75mm to 150mm clearance from the road.

Exhaust Considerations

  • Remember this is a plastic bristle brush, so needs to be mounted away from the exhaust pipe.  Both the heat of the exhaust pipe and the hot fumes that come from it can distort the bristles.  If you can mount the brush under the exhaust or behind the exhaust that is the best option. We recommend you contact a local exhaust specialist for advice.
  • Your ROCK OFF® Towing Brush Strip can also be cut into pieces and mounted under the caravan.  Then it acts as a secondary protection zone for your caravan’s pipework.  Mark the area of the backing where you wish to cut; using pliers remove one of the brush tufts underneath and that will give you sufficient clearance to use a saw to cut the backing.
If you are unsure of how to fit your ROCK OFF, we recommend you contact your local Caravan Service Centre, 4WD after market specialist, trailer specialist or engineer/fitter who could give you some advice as to the best way to fit to your vehicle.

Tips for Installing the Stone Guard for a Caravan

While we recommend going to a mechanic, car specialist, or fitter to help you attach ROCK OFF caravan stone deflector to your vehicle, we have some tips for those wanting to try it themselves.

  • When Busy Bee Brushware refers to ‘brush trim’, we are talking about the exact length of the bristle. So, when measuring for length, you’ll need to take into account the brush trim and the length of the backing.
  • Make sure to mount the brush anywhere that has 100mm to 200mm clearance from the road.
  • As the plastic bristles on ROCK OFF’s stone guard for caravans aren’t heat resistant, you’ll need to mount the brush away from the exhaust pipe. Failure to do so will result in distortion of the bristles and inconsistency in regards to effectiveness.
