Thanks Mile High! But ... other than "looks", is there anything "functional" with this type of end camp that is missing or lacking from the "old school" style. In other words, are there any functional advantages to this type of end-cap?
I think the rear caps help with mileage by changing the air currents vs a square back.
Not 100% sure of that, but I remember reading it somewhere.
Probably not enough to even register or notice...
The big trucks are also now adding skirting on the rear of the trailers , kinda shaped like a moulded rear cap but super sized.. I believe they are operated by a cable system? They say it's for aerodynamics ..
I like them because I like them... And they look nice to me and DW...
