I need to shy from anything that could possibly damage the buildings. The other issue is the varied sizes and shapes i haul. From 8-16' wide, and 8-12' tall.
My thought on side skirts is toolbox back, tucked under the edge rail of the bed. I may have to get creative about tying into the back of the bed because of its taper. Then i need to tackle the front of the toolboxes.
My main concern is unloaded economy. The truck does a lot of just running around empty, and most moves/deliveries i do don't require the trailer, so alot of empty miles to and from.
The trailer does not have a solid deck, it is rollers and pipe. Would side fairings really net any gain without the solid floor? Other issue is it tilts on the back axle when unloading, and the tail usually sets on the ground. I will get more pics when I am back at work next week.
I am not trying to be negative Nelly, and i hope guys taking it that way. I am just trying to weigh how things would function with how i use the truck.
So here are some photos...
