I have noticed a high fuel consumption in a head wind.
Is it streamlining or lack there of that is to blame?
Feel like I am pulling a 13 ft high box at times.
I see trucks with all sorts of streamlining on the road.
JUST CURIOUS-not that I want a travel trailer/bumper pull unit.
You are pulling a 13' high box. Whatever part of the 5th wheel is above the truck acts like an air brake. Plus the extra weight.
