Dave, both of your ideas look/sound good. I don't ever think I've seen an RV of any type with a cage around the plumbing. I've seen a few RV's with substantial damage from blowouts; it seems the bigger the RV (and the tire) the worse the damage can be.

The edges of my cage are folded over around the wire on each side. I put the side with the fold facing the underneath of the trailer vs. facing down towards the street. It creates another area where moisture & dirt could build up and remain, which would tend to make the sheet metal rust out faster. Probably the same thing would happen if it was facing the pavement, but it may drain better if it was facing down. I guess I could caulk it up.
