Another Wind Faring/ Deflector

I just found this surfing the web...

doesn't look like it'll fit with the cabover though...

It might fit on a full double cab but not on a extra cab. I had to modify my wing used on my AC Tundra when I got the 2013 Hawk.

I would have thought someone like Softopper or Bestop could come up with a faring for pick up campers with metal frames and heavy canopy material.

Has anyone proven that the wind deflector improves MPG?

 

[deethe]

i found headwinds & tailwinds to be more significant than camper drag in calm winds on the highways, lost maybe 3/4 of an MPG with the camper but still averaging about or above 16.5mpg (into the mid 20's in the mountains at elevation with declines) weight might be a bigger issue than drag

I don't know about MPG but everything I've read says it reduces wind noise and bug splatter. One would think it would help with aerodynamics, drag or mpg.

 

[Cayuse]

Mine did nothing noticeable for mpg but the wind noise is now nonexistent, as for bug splatter, those are just on the deflector instead of the camper.

Bug splatter is an issue.
