Fuel Consumption With Roof Top Tent In A Head wind

The Voodoo bars work great but no, since it's a tri-fold aluminum cover it cannot be opened with the tent on the truck. I have a hoist mounted on my garage ceiling that I use to lift and store the RTT when I'm not using it. I still use the bed for storage when camping with the tent, however. A 6' long hooked pole is all that's needed to manage cargo.

 

Drove across South Dakota this last weekend with a pretty heavy headwind averaging a computer 11mpg (not corrected for E rated 255x85x16 tires) at 70mph. Didn't buy this truck for MPG's and I wouldn't give up the compactness that makes parking and everyday living such a breeze.

 

Yes, that’s exactly what everyone thinks.....

 

Oil companies hate him for this one secret

 

Keeping the RTT as close to flush with the cab is the best option to cut the drag down. I had an allpro bedrack that was flush with the top of cab and then the RTT above the cab this was the worst the drag was just terrible , the allpro was gone after about a week! Changed to a BAMF Expo bar setup works great!
