Update from the road with nose of trailer dropped, no skirt yet:

Today's Trip distance: 466 miles (Boulder, CO to Park City, UT)
Average Speed: 58 mph (with speeds jumping to 65-70 mph occasionally)
Terrain: Good bit of climbing and descending.
AC On
Average MPG: 35.2 mpg

We're pretty happy with this result, I'd love to see 40 mpg after the skirt/gap filler. If we have enough energy tonight after this long drive, we'll be stitching up a skirt at the campsite tonight. We'll then test it tomorrow on our 750 mile trip to San Francisco.

Update soon.

Cheers,
Tommy
