Stone Protection for Camper Trailer.

Even if it's 1/2 hr away on the tar, the stone stomper goes on. Only takes one repair patch on the road to throw up just one stone.

Ditto to what Stephen said and I am Victorian, LOL.
I forget to reclip my S/S one day, dragged it about 40 k's before reclipped, rang S/S, arranged to drop it off on an Adelaide visit for them to inspect it. They rang and said it can be repaired, excellent, when I picked it up, all repaired, new hardware, no cost, now that is service with a capital "S".

Same for me. I am a big advocate of the Stonestomper. I forgot to re- clip one side after a lunch stop and destroyed a couple of stainless clips and bungee cord. I emailed Stonestomper and they sent me out new parts to fix it up - FOC. Happy with that. Last trip I towed my camper 14000km with over 3000km dirt/gravel & not a mark on the car. We still got a few small chips on the sides of the camper, but without the Stonestomper, the whole thing would have been peppered. You cannot eliminate them totally !! The odd one finds its way to the camper. As for underneath, a quick coat when I got home with a bitumen based product and she looks as good as new. I made up extra mudflaps for underneath & in front of the suspension arms/shocks which protected them pretty well from stones. On my old camper, I had an angled stoneguard. I had corflute taped on the back window of the car to stop glass breakages, but the whole upper and lower tailgates were covered in stonechips. It took me days to touch them up - luckily the car is white !! They definitely bounce off the angled stoneguard and back onto the car, and the camper still copped a flogging with sandblasting etc.

Thanks Darian what materials did u use to cover pipes and brake cables thanks

LL16,

I've done a lot of mods to my Karavan - wiring, plumbing, etc. I ran as much as I could inside the chassis or in protected areas provided by the design where other OEM stuff was. I also used split conduit - that seems to be durable enough despite the hammering it gets. Have had no failures underneath from stone damage in 12 years of extensive outback travel. OEM protection for tanks etc is very good, so I started from a good baseline.

Cheers

As Frank says...split ribbed conduit is best for cables and pipes etc...easy to fit and replace when worn...comes in various sizes from Auto Parts shops. Consider HD rubber flaps too to protect suspension and other components if practical (I used some HD recycled conveyor belting).
