Default U-haul open trailer

I am about to open trailer my '30 Town Sedan from Arizona to North Carolina on the U-Haul car carrier (all four wheels off the ground). It will be behind the largest U-Haul truck (26 footer). I'm thinking that being that close to that large square wind breaker might be better protection than if it were behind a pickup. I can't remember if the U-Haul vans have mud flaps. I do have a soft cover for my A but have heard a few horror stories about paint damage from the abrasive action of even that soft material from the wind movement. I also have read about using the shrink wrap stuff at least on the upper window part of the car. This would also keep the doors closed in case of a latch failure.
So, I'm just wondering if some of you have towed behind the large vans and what your experience was. Sure would appreciate your thoughts. I need to get "George" to NC with as little damage as possible. I would love to drive it but circumstances won't allow that this time. Thanks, Bob
