Flat Towing Grill and Window Protector

I recently bought a Class A RV that I intend to flat tow my 2023 Bronco Wildtrak behind it. I’ve been trying to find some sort of front bra that covers the grill, hood and windshield but can’t find anything. Someone has to make them. Does anyone have a link or suggestion on where to get one? Much appreciated.

Big mud flaps for your RV is about your only "affordable" choice. A second choice would be to buy a car trailer, but you're probably looking at $5K (there's cheaper trailers, buyer beware)

For the Price of a blue ox hitch and brake set up a trailer is actually comparable in price. Some bonuses to the trailer are less wear and tear on the Bronco, you don't have to worry about a battery tender to keep from ruining your transmission, less likely to get rocks and debris on the Bronco, and if you have a breakdown on the trail or during your travels all you have to do is load it on the trailer and you can drive it home. Just maybe another option. I know the Bronco can be flat towed and they have "fixed" the issue with the bronco spontaneously going out of tow mode while towing. but that is a pretty pricey oops if that happens.

One other item about the trailer. You will find yourself using it for other projects, tasks. But be ware of the neighbor or friend, can I borrow the, and it comes back fenders gone, flat tires, etc. kind of like a dog…it’s just a trailer…right?

We have flat towed our Badlands many miles with no problems. With a trailer some RV parks insist you put it in their storage yard and pay a fee. Find it very easy to hook up to our Blue Ox tow bar. Will always stick with flat towing. Have thought about something for the windshield. No ideas there. I do put a strap around the shift knob as a CYA for it possibly getting knocked into drive. Supposedly no longer an issue, but so easy to not take chances.
