I just passed 5 years of r-pod ownership - like Doug, I don't have a shield and there's no damage to the trailer.]]> Sat, 30 Aug 2014 21:53:10 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5231&PID=50801#50801 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5231&PID=50796#50796 Author: techntrek

    I think if you were towing on unpaved roads the rock guard shield would be helpful but on paved highways I don't think it would be that important. This is my own personal opinion hopefully someone with more experience could give you a better answer.]]> Fri, 29 Aug 2014 20:36:25 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5231&PID=50764#50764 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5231&PID=50763#50763 Author: GingerPod

We have a aluminum diamond plate shield at the front of our Pods....it is just powder coated black.

 In shopping around before settling on a R-Pod 178, I noticed that most of the trailers we looked at touted a bright metal shield at the front bottom of the vehicle. The purpose was to protect the trailer from rocks and other road debris thrown up by the two vehicle. The R-Pod has no such protection. My question: Has anyone out there had their Pod damaged by the lack of a shield? Or is the construction strong enough so a shield is not needed?
