Nice image. Note that European trailers are not set up for use with weight distribution hitches, and that the Rabbit is nose-high.

Deflectors -- when used over a large gap -- are generally derided as "bug line" indicators. They may well work with a fifth wheel enclosed trailer (travel-type, horse trailer, etc; where pickup cab and trailer are close), but does anyone have "proof" of their working over a larger gap than what both CUMMINS and KENWORTH indicate is beyond the effective 24-30" gap between tractor & trailer for commercial vehicles?
