5 carn' t belive more people aren' t using these.The only downside is that when it was left on without a 5th wheel trailer in tow, and put in a down or flat position, it is noisy. Too early to tell if it increases gas mileage as I haven ' t had it out on the freeway for a distance yet.Īppearance is good. An added benefit is that we don' t get a lot of insect splatter on the camper because the wind deflects them over the front along with the wind. This has proven to be a very durable unit that has more than paid for itself in savings on fuel. When we don' t have the 5th wheel trailer attached we fold the deflector down. We mount the deflector when we start out and leave it attached for several months while we travel. A typical year is to travel about 7 thousand miles going from Florida to Maine and from North Carolina to Colorado. We observe what we estimate to be about 20% improvement in fuel economy (from 10.8 to 12.7 MPG). My wife and I have been using that for trips since. Written by Rawson C Jenkins II on 13th Oct 2021Ī few years ago we bought one of your wind deflectors. I am more concerned about having the face of the towed trailer protected than fuel mileage. I' m leaving on the cap cover on permanently.

Requires no drilling or modifications to the vehicle.Ships completely assembled (includes mounting hooks #2,#6,#8 & #9) ready for installation. The Aeroshield can be adjusted to virtually any angle allowing maximum aerodynamic efficiency and easily folds down when not in use. The AeroShield's aerodynamic design reduces wind resistance and practically eliminates turbulent winds trapped between the tow vehicle and the fifth wheel or trailer, ensuring smoother handling and improved performance.
