Did you ever run those side panels on your trailer and if so did they help mileage?

Also what is the weight of that trailer?

Thanks.

I never ran the side panels.

Trailer base weight is quoted to be 875#, tire rack & shield rack about 100# so probable less than 1000# overall.

That is amazing. My steel trailer probably weighs twice that bare. Towing 1000# extra around does have an impact on gas mileage.

I'd also bet that those side covers would help gas mileage.

A guy that we met up at Hoopa that had a big semi truck air deflector bolted on the front of his trailer. He said his gas mileage went up 3-4 mph with it on.
