Mask for the Phoenix Cruiser

Stealing a page out of our friends Sue and Mo’s trip to Alaska in 2011, Mui cobbled together a “mask” for our RV.

Unlike the 😷s that have become second nature to all of us during the Coronavirus Pandemic, this mask is not made out of at least two layers of fabric. No, it’s made out of galvanized mesh. It’s intent is to protect the RV’s headlights from gravel that might be sprayed up by passing vehicles ... or those speeding ahead of us on dirt and gravel roads.

Technically, Mui could have just created some mesh boxes to cover just the headlights. But it was easier to secure a mesh grill to the entire front of the vehicle. Plastic bumpers between the mesh and Cruiser should eliminate any unintentional scratches.

We might be over preparing for this road trip, but an inexpensive solution such as this one doesn’t hurt. Thanks, Sue, for reminding me about the headlight protection.Read more
