Travel Trailers and the Aeroshield Wind Deflector

Travel Trailer with Wind Deflector

We are always talking to the owners of fifth wheel trailer units about our Aeroshield Wind Deflector. Our wind deflector is a natural fit for fifth wheel owners as it helps reduce drag on the unit which creates a more comfortable ride, and greatly improves fuel mileage.

Sometimes we can forget about all of the other units that the Aeroshield wind deflector can help with including travel trailers, cargo trailers, horse trailers, and cube vans. Today we are going to look at travel trailers.

Travel trailer units consist of full size trailers pulled by vehicles using a bumper hitch. While trucks are a popular choice for towing, vehicles used to tow travel trailers also include SUV�s, vans, minivans, and even cars.

Towing travel trailers can be tough on your vehicle

Travel trailers come in an assortment of sizes and lengths. What is universal about travel trailers is that they are all built for an average sized human to stand inside them. This is blatantly obvious of course; one buys a trailer so that they can live comfortably inside them. What this truth means though, is that travel trailers will ALWAYS be taller than the vehicle that is pulling them.

Once you�re traveling down the highway, the air flow your vehicle encounters will travel naturally up and over your aerodynamic vehicle, and then run right into the top half of your travel trailer. When travelling at highway speed, that�s like towing a big brick wall behind your vehicle. That brick wall is drastically reducing your fuel efficiency and costing you money.

Even more important to remember is if you are pulling your �brick wall� with the family car or minivan, that is a tremendous extra strain on your vehicle�s small engine. The average sedan or minivan was not built to work against that kind of strain. Therefore your travel trailer is causing additional stress that will result in premature engine wear and decline. We also know that the cost of additional vehicle maintenance as a result of additional stress from pulling a trailer is never added to the overall cost of your family vacation. So the question is: how much is pulling that travel trailer costing you?

Aeroshield: saving your vehicle and saving you money!

Thankfully our Aeroshield Wind Deflector works just as good on vehicles pulling travel trailers, as it does on fifth wheel trailers. The angle of the wind deflector just needs to be pointed toward the top of your trailer. Then the Aeroshield Wind Deflector forces the air stream up and over the front of your trailer, drastically improving fuel mileage, and reducing the strain on your vehicle�s engine.

Additionally, thanks to our unique design, the Aeroshield Wind Deflector installs quickly and can be removed easily, allowing you to drive at your destination without the wind deflector. Our paint safe design also keeps your vehicle free of chips and scratches, and no special installation is required keeping your vehicle in the same great shape it was when you bought it.

Make camping and touring with your travel trailer easier and cheaper with the Aeroshield Wind Deflector.
