False. If it is too far from the front of trailer it might pull bugs pushed out by windshield back in.
False.... It did not cover the whole front of the trailer. This was on an SUV and I mounted the deflector toward the rear of the SUV. The deflector was covered in bugs and the upper foot of the RV had bugs. On a pickup what you said might be true.

When you use the term "definitely" because it happened in your case, the argument gets pretty weak. Then "on a pickup..." proves your first statement can't be true
I can't say I have much to do with RVs, but have worked with guys that run defectors and different height sleepers and trailers for a lot of miles. And some personal experience; Friend had me run his Volvo for a few weeks after he had a car accident. I worked it just like old Pete, suck it up for scales then stretch it out for the ride. After few thousand miles, got back to his house. He looked at rig before his kids started wash, asked about bugs on reefer. Next week, I left it shortened up, fewer bugs.
Another trip, Pete all stretched out. Bird just missed windshield, hand behind asked if glass broke. He saw feathers when bird hit front of end dump.
