  1. Love your trip to AK. Please tell me about the nose protection on the front of your trailer for the Alaska trip. 

    what is the material? how is it attached?  was it effective? We do a lot of gravel road driving and it's hard on the trailer. Your feedback will be appreciated

      The material I chose was Amazon grey yoga mats. Qty 3

      i laid them flat on a work table to let them uncurl.

      Next I added a layer of sticky back construction carpet protector to each roll befor any cutting.  (Comes on a roll from Home Depot) This makes them water resistant as they are porous mats.

      I cut out templates using  a roll of brown wrapping paper. 
       

      put templates on Mats and cut to fit

      used 3m no residue duct tape (from Amazon) to stick to trailer (3 rolls needed)

      others have used non porous material like very thin linoleum as a cover.

      not a single chip on those surfaces.

      I also have installed rear mud flaps on the trailer.

       

      items are listed in my Oliver outfitters Guide:
