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. |

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. |
