Yes it would help Dave and welcome to ecomodder.

The 4% gain Fubeca determined through an A-B-A test on a cold day, under 20 degrees with a strong cross wind, is flawed.

Fubeca agrees it is flawed in this post in another thread:

The mystery is why, on a webpage which heralds correct data and testing methodology to arrive at a figure for fuel economy improvement, this thread remains front and center on the ecomodder home page?

I too have thought of that. I had an idea to make a small bracket off of an extra receiver and have the additional aero-cap attach to the hitch bracket. That way it is easily attached/unattached and securely mounted. Hey, there are some long distance traveling ideas that come to mind with one of those, maybe a drag racing option!!! :{)

I concur.

Looks like you have someone serving in our armed forces with you in your picture. Tell them I appreciate greatly their service to our country.

What did you do for the front of the bed? Do you happen to have any more interior shots of this design?
