John,

I've got one. I can't document fuel mileage increases but I don't have any bugs on the front of my 5th wheel with it on and it's covered with it off. the airflow has to be going over the rig instead of being deflected by it.

The wing goes on easily and makes no wind noise IF you have the little deflector plate at the bottom of the wing. Ask them about it as it isn't needed on a lot of trucks and isn't shipped with the wing. It IS needed on my GMC. We went to Utah and back without it one year. Suffered all the way up, rigged a deflector from plastic placemats for the trip home. The little deflector the give you is about 3 inches long by 3/4 inch high.

I think mine is worth it and continue to use it regularly.

Get help putting it on or use a blanket on the off side. Slide the wing across the top on the blanket then strap it down.

Regards,
Bob
