TDInewguy and his super singles

Last September TDInewguy embarked on a program to put super singles and other weight saving devices on his class A. He was making regular posts through the test drive then suddenly went silent. I sent him a PM but did not get a response. Does anyone know what happened to him or the project?
  • He realized he wasted his money and is too embarrassed to post!
  • Nobody on here is ever too embarrassed to post whatever may have gone wrong.
  • I did not realize that he had done it before but I was actually looking for a continuation of this post from last September:

    First long trip is on the books...

    I will say that I was facing an unusual amount of headwinds on this trip -- which can be seen at www.hint.fm

    When the winds subsided I got a full tank measurement and that gave me roughly 5-6% improvement in fuel consumption. I have never broken 8mpg with this rig while towing and I was at 8.5 for much of the tank and it dropped a bit at the end due to rush hour in-town driving.

    There will be more trips to show more data, but they have been pleasant to ride on.
  • 1 trip does not give you any usable information about fuel mileage. Maybe he has has some empirical data now but he did not have anything at the end of that 1 trip.
