I recently purchased a 20' travel trailer - a Forrest River Wildwood FSX. I've had it out twice now and next month, we're planning a trip out as far as the Grand Canyon (from Cincinnati).
I've got everything set up perfectly now. Weight distribution hitch is shimmed up just right, added a TrueCool Aux Trans Cooler. I hardly notice it's back there, except for one thing...
Up to 65 mph, it's fine - even uphill. I can even hit and stay in 4th gear (I have an '07 with the 4-speed) on the flats, but getting to 70 mph is like trying to run through mud. It just falls flat on it's face and it's definitely aerodynamic.
I'm looking at getting one of those Wind Deflectors (Icon AeroShield Wind Deflector).
Does anyone have experience with them or similar products?
I'm not looking to set land speed records and I don't care if it saves gas or not. I just want to at least be able to hit and maintain the highway speed limit.
