Stone Shield
Keep your caravan or camper trailer looking like new. Coast’s new range of
Stone Shields stops stones (and other hard debris) from chipping, or
potentially even
denting, your RV’s paintwork. Great for travel along the unbeaten track,
these Stone Shields are super easy to install onto your a-frame.
Made from extra-tough ripstop mesh (ripstop is a woven material that is
resistant to tears or rips) and includes two extra-large rubber mudflaps (that
are heavy-duty) to protect the undercarriage of your caravan or camper
trailer.
Read through these simple instructions (in full) prior to commencing the
installation process.
Note: Once your Stone Shield is fitted, ensure you have sufficient
clearance between your vehicle and your RV/Stone Shield-remember, you may need
a wider turning circle when maneuvering your RV.
Your Stone Shield comes flat packed. Before you begin assembly, we recommend
laying all the components out, as per the image below. Not only will this aid
an efficient assembly but you’re also able to double-check that all components
are present.
The following items should be present In your Stone Shield packaging:
1. Mud Flap Bars (x2)
2. Centre Piece (x1)
3. End Pieces (x1 LH and x1 RH)
4. 25mm Threaded Self Drilling Screws ( 11xx Bag)
5. 20mm Threaded Self Drilling Screws ( 11xx Bag)
6. A-Frame Receptors (x2)| 7. Locking ‘R’ Pins (x2)
8. Mounting Kits (x2) – this includes x4 rubber spacers
9. Rubber Mud Flaps (x2)
10. Rip-Stop Mesh (x1)
11. RReinforcing Plates (x4)

Please note screws may vary between Phillips and Hex head screws. Alter your tools as required.
Please note: Some drilling is required to install your stone shield.
Once you’ve checked that all components are present, gather the following
tools and keep them nearby so that they’re easy to locate when needed.
STEP 1:
Locate the Centre Piece and move it to a workable area free of obstacles
safety hazards.
STEP 2:
Locate one of the End Pieces and slide it into the Centre Piece. Repeat the
process on both sides and secure with the 20mm self-drilling screws – see
Fig.4
- Rounded corners represent the top of the Stone Shield
- Locate the reinforcing plates and the 20mm self-drilling threaded screws.
STEP 3:
Use the screws to secure the reinforcing plate to the stone shield frame.
Repeat the process on both sides see inset to the left.
STEP 4:
Locate the mesh.
To make this process easier, we recommend turning the Stone Shield frame over.
The Stone Shield frame is pre-drilled, showing you where the screws need to
go.
STEP 5:
Line the mesh up with the Stone Shield frame. Using the 20mm Threaded Screws,
secure the mesh to the frame. We recommend starting with the corners and then
continuing to work around the entire frame.
- The mesh cuff is not pre-drilled. We recommended marking the cuff with a pinhole to locate the correct hole in the frame, prior to permanently screwing the mesh into the frame.
STEP 6:
Once the mesh has been secured to the frame, it’s time to attach the mud
flaps. To make this process, we recommend turning the Stone Shield frame over.
Locate the mud flap bars, mud flaps, and the 25mm threaded screws.
STEP 7:
Take the mud flap and line the holes on it, up with the holes in the Stone
Shield frame.
Place the mud flap bar on top of the mud flap, once again making sure the
holes are all aligned, and screw in to secure to the Stone Shield frame.
STEP 8:
Once both mud flaps are secured, take the Stone Shield frame over to the
A-frame of your RV.
To determine the best position for your Stone Shield, sit it on top of the
A-frame but make sure that you have clear access to at least three of the
cutouts.
STEP 9:
Once the best position is determined, locate the U-brackets and fit them onto
your A-frame. (Rubber spacers and varied bottoms are provided for thicker
A-frames.) Attach the mounting feet to the Stone Shield frame.
- The rubber spacers may not be required for installation. They are provided to accommodate for uncommon A-frames.
STEP 10:
With the mounting feet bolted onto the frame, lift the Stone Shield frame onto
the A-frame so that the downward prongs fit into the receptors on the
U-brackets.
STEP 11:
Finally, use the locking pins to lock the Stone Shield frame to the receptors
i.e. stopping the Stone Shield frame from lifting.
- Please note for added security, padlocks or cable locks can be used.
These are not provided but are available through your local hardware store.
