I was surfing the web and came across these gizmos called Airtabs. They sound like they are the answer to all your prayers. Does anybody have any experience with them?

I have no idea about all your prayers,but I have AIRTABS on my Class C.

They really help on a cross wind situation,no more sudden buffeting. It has stopped the sideways push when being passed or passing a large truck.

They are a vortex generator that produce a counter rotating air trail several feet behind the vehicle, This airflow alteration improves vehicle stability. As far a mileage it did not seem to make any difference

Russ on the Youtube channel RVerTV has a Sprinter with Airtabs on it. No idea what he thinks of them, just that I have noticed them on the van in some of the videos.

Silly idea. All manufacturers are concerned with air drag. Don’t you believe they would have adopted “airtabs” if they worked? The new Silverado 1500 is much more aero dynamic than the last version...by intent. Looking forward to the new F150 and drag numbers.

They are made by the same guy that made the engine that runs on water and the perpetual electrical generator.
