    It certainly wasn’t. Not heavy, but pulled like a parachute.

    I used to keep the load leveler for my step at the front of the upper deck. Then I moved it to the lower deck right behind the step because I was tired of climbing over it. Instant 1MPG gain. About a 10ft gap between the back of my sleeper and the front of the trailer so it was sitting out there catching wind all the time. I couldn't believe how much drag a few pieces of 4x4 tubing was making.

    Doesn't sound like retirement...it sounds more like @booley 's part time gig. :)

    I believe it, it's ridiculous how much wind that stuff grabs, that crane jib knocked me down to about 50-55 mph and about 4mpg, the guy behind me had a century that's a lot more aero dynamic then the western star I was in and he got like .1 mpg better than I did going across there
