When I turn the rig hard over the side of the trailer can touch the back of the cab when it gets to 92 degrees or so. I'll need to hinge a panel on either side that can swing out of the way in a hard turn and then swing back and latch securely and be gust-proof. Bringing it all the way to the truck bed would be nice, but overcomplicated. I have really heavy duty stake pockets in my metalwork for a support bar, maybe I'll just make a short Lion's mane deflector for the side of the cab and mount it off that.
