3/4 ton extended cab pickup towing a 24 foot travel trailer. Fuel 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		 
		
	
	
	mileage is effected much more by wind than weight. I want to build a camper shell that will be cab high at the front and direct the airflow smoothly over the trailer. There is about 4 feet between the front of the trailer and the rear of the proposed camper. For some reason, I believe the camper should be higher than the trailer. But how much higher? Should the angle be constant? Convex? Concave? A different exit angle? About a foot from the top of the trailer, the front slopes back at a 45 degree angle. All opinions are welcome but educated calculations will be given more weight. ![]() --Andy Asberry-- ------Texas-----  |
