Saw this product online and thought, YES!!! I need one for pulling my Trl, I drive truck for a living and have often wonder why people who pull trl' s don' t have a wind deflector like the big trucks ! People at icon were very helpful with the ordering process ,

5 carn' t belive more people aren' t using these.

The only downside is that when it was left on without a 5th wheel trailer in tow, and put in a down or flat position, it is noisy. Too early to tell if it increases gas mileage as I haven ' t had it out on the freeway for a distance yet.Īppearance is good. An added benefit is that we don' t get a lot of insect splatter on the camper because the wind deflects them over the front along with the wind. This has proven to be a very durable unit that has more than paid for itself in savings on fuel.

When we don' t have the 5th wheel trailer attached we fold the deflector down. We mount the deflector when we start out and leave it attached for several months while we travel. A typical year is to travel about 7 thousand miles going from Florida to Maine and from North Carolina to Colorado. We observe what we estimate to be about 20% improvement in fuel economy (from 10.8 to 12.7 MPG). My wife and I have been using that for trips since. Written by Rawson C Jenkins II on 13th Oct 2021Ī few years ago we bought one of your wind deflectors. I am more concerned about having the face of the towed trailer protected than fuel mileage. I' m leaving on the cap cover on permanently.

Feel very good regarding the way it is secured thru the tops of the windows on either side. Adapted so tiedown straps are secured thru the windows in the cap cover. Installed on roof of cap cover on midsize pickup truck. Order the WD500 model, 48 x 22 shield, for Mid size tow vehicles

Fits most vehicles (see application guide).

Requires no drilling or modifications to the vehicle.

Ships completely assembled (includes mounting hooks #2,#6,#8 & #9) ready for installation. The Aeroshield can be adjusted to virtually any angle allowing maximum aerodynamic efficiency and easily folds down when not in use. The AeroShield's aerodynamic design reduces wind resistance and practically eliminates turbulent winds trapped between the tow vehicle and the fifth wheel or trailer, ensuring smoother handling and improved performance. The difficulty of hitting such a small target at typical starship engagement distances makes this not much of a weakness, much to the dismay of their opponents.AeroShield Wind Deflectors ~ Engineered for todays tow vehicles. However, the Jurvain have managed to find a way to project "portholes" in the Gravitic Shields around their dreadnoughts, enabling them to at least fire while shielded, although these portholes also can be fired into, and thus constitute a small weakness. Also, the same field that will destroy incoming enemy missiles will crush your own and cause your own laser beams to lose coherence and focus, so you cannot fire out of such a field any more than you can fire into it. Such shields are of limited use, however, as while projecting them, the ship's engines cannot be used to maneuver, even auxilliary ion drives. These are often mistakenly called Deflector Shields by novices, but are properly known as Gravitic Shields. Large warships equipped with a second-generation Gravity Drive can use their main engines to project a spherical shell of focused gravitartional distortion around the ship, crushing incoming projectile weapons to dust and diffracting or attenuating incoming laser beams.

The equipment needed to produce a properly-shaped and powerful enough deflector shield is too heavy and bulky for use on starfighters or shuttlecraft, so they are limited toabout 300,000 kph by their onboard shielding (about 83 kps, or 1 percent of thespeed of light). Deflector shields are far too weak to be of any use against most weaponry, although plasma and certain types of charged-particle beams can be deflected or attenuated. Non-charged particles are not affected, so most ships have at least some armor on their forward side. A low-power free-electron laser sweeps space directly ahead of a starship, giving such particles a tiny electric charge, which enables the fields to push them aside.

Even individual hydrogen atoms become deadly ionizing radiation when travelling at half the speed of light. Not generally big or powerful enough to protect a city from a tidal waveĭeflector Shields are magnetic fields produced by a starship to deflect away particles of interplanetary gas and dust, as well as small micrometeorites.
