Wind Deflector

[rsjohnsn]

I am in need of one of those fancy chrome wind deflectors to go on the top of my truck when pulling a camper. Where is the best place to purchase one? Is there anything special I need to know or are they all pretty much the same?

Thanks
Scott

Uhm..... any reason in particular.... From all the Readding I've done on the Subjuect ... They are great for catching Bugs, however no one has ever posted any noticable MPG benefits....

Gas mileage was the whole reason I was looking. I thought and heard that they improved mileage quite a bit. Anybody have any real world experience on the subject?

Thanks

Gremlinstein, one of our club members, has one on his CC LB F-350 and says it didn't help a bit on mileage, but I've gotta agree it sure adds coolness points when he's hooked up to his trailer. He pulls a 40-sumthin-foot tri-axle mobile shop/toy hauler.

Maybe I can find a flick or two when I get off work and back home.

Here's a flick I didn't know I had up:

thes guys have a few and states mileage gains....
but the COOL factor would outweigh the mpg gains i am geussing and they are $$$

Outside of mpg gains, it seems like a deflector would help keep the front of a high-profile trailer clean of bug splatter/road grime so I guess that's a benefit...
