Top 10 Reasons to add a Stone Guard before you travel

Towing a caravan or trailer comes with its fair share of challenges, and one of the biggest risks is stone damage. Rocks and debris kicked up by your vehicle’s wheels can chip paint, crack windows, and cause expensive damage to both your tow vehicle and caravan. Before you hit the road, here are ten reasons why adding a stone guard—especially the Rock Off Towing Brush Strip—should be a top priority.

1. Protects Your Caravan from Stone Damage

Flying stones can easily chip the front of your caravan, damaging paintwork, windows, and even the body. The Rock Off Towing Brush Strip absorbs the impact of stones and deflects them downward, reducing damage.

2. Minimizes “Bounce Back” Damage to Your Tow Vehicle

Some stone guards only block stones from hitting the caravan, but the Rock Off Towing Brush Strip also helps reduce the risk of stones rebounding and damaging your tow vehicle—especially the rear window.

3. More Effective Than Traditional Mud Flaps

Unlike standard mud flaps, which only block some debris, the Rock Off system uses durable brush strips to absorb energy and stop stones from flying in multiple directions.

4. Versatile Fitting Options

The Rock Off Towing Brush Strip isn’t a one-size-fits-all product. It can be fitted to the back of your vehicle, the front of your caravan, or even underneath, providing flexible protection for different towing setups.

5. Lightweight Yet Durable Design

Built to withstand tough Australian conditions, the Rock Off system is strong enough to last without adding unnecessary weight to your setup.

6. Easy to Install and Modify

Unlike some stone guards that require major modifications, the Rock Off Towing Brush Strip is simple to install with minimal adjustments needed. It can also be purchased as “brush only,” allowing DIY enthusiasts to create custom brackets to suit their specific setup.

7. Reduces Wear and Tear on Your Caravan’s Paintwork

Over time, stone chips can lead to rust and deterioration. By preventing these small impacts in the first place, you’re extending the lifespan of your caravan’s exterior.

8. Helps Maintain Resale Value

A caravan covered in stone chips and cracks will lose value faster. Protecting it with a Rock Off Towing Brush Strip keeps it looking newer for longer, which is beneficial if you decide to sell or upgrade in the future.

9. Custom Solutions for Different Vehicles

Because exhaust heat can impact the plastic bristles, Rock Off offers an optional Exhaust Kit to redirect heat safely. This ensures long-term durability without damaging the brush strip.

10. Australian-Made and Designed for Local Conditions

Designed specifically for Australian roads, the Rock Off Towing Brush Strip is built to handle everything from gravel tracks to highways, making it a smart investment for any traveler.
