Got the camper top off and went fer a test drive empty.

I left my sliding window "umbrella" in place on the roof which sorta acts like a ducktail. Combined with my extended air dam, full belly pan, 11" side skirts, and rear diffuser, I found it interesting that my short run up North with the tailgate down gave me some pretty good mileage...22.95 mpg. With the tailgate back up, I got 25.53 mpg on the return trip.

Currently working on my grid panel with 2" spacings so I can git a better idea of where the slope should be. I'm surprised someone hasn't made something like this before. I plan to stick the panel in the stake holes in the bed and then take my photos.
