I think the rock chip idea is over reaching. Rock chips can happen from simply driving. Towing, assuming it's freeway conditions with a Van, as specified, would put the risk at minimal to about the same as simply driving it.
You must not do much towing. I have towed boats and other toys for years. The only way I have avoided most rock chips (not all) was to have a long motorhome type mudflap installed on my tow vehicle. It has to go almost all the way to the ground to keep the front of the trailer / car from getting blasted from small rocks from the rear tires of the tow vehicles. Why do you think they make car protectors and flaps for motorhomes that tow vehicles behind them?

The flaps at the bottom of the page on the link is what I had to do...
