air tabs
Wolf 10 are you going to install air tabs on the new motorhome?? I'm still pondering putting them on.. Are they worth the money?? Do they help in any way, mpg, handling?? Thanks.. Mike Mathews..

We installed Air Tabs several years ago and they did as advertised. The rig is more stable in gusting side winds and almost no buffeting from trucks.
I did notice a reduction in the cloud of spray generated in wet conditions and a cleaner toad as a result. It is apparent that there was a reduction in the turbulent air behind the rig. There was a down side for us, the rear view camera is now in a smother air flow area so the camera lens now quickly becomes wet during the rain.
Quantifying the mpg gains is difficult, however there does seem to be an improvement of 1/2 mpg or less.
We installed the Air Tabs for improved stability, so any fuel improvement issues are appreciated but secondary.
