You can also insert large photos from the WTW gallery into posts. I have this gallery photo here -

When my cursor moves over the photo it becomes a magnifying glass icon, left click to get the larger photo pop up. With the cursor over the enlarged photo, right click and then left click "copy image location"

 

In your post select the picture icon in the tool bar above the text box. Right click and paste the copied address into the dialog box. Click okay. The photo displays as below.

EDIT: Just saw Bad Habits post did not mean to duplicate. 

 

I have to agree, I bought the camper to camp. Did the wing because of noise not mileage. IF and that is a big if, you drove far enough the tail might make a difference. Just don't think it would be worth the trouble. 

 

One thing I have not seen except on the web are airtabs. They might be the answer need someone to test them out. Cost of kit  here.

RE the Airtab discussion— I found this informative video—on vortex generation and aerodynamic drag reduction. Science!

I don't have my camper yet so someone else may confirm—the back end of a Hawk has 16.6ft of 90 degree angle corners (sides and roof) and the truck (bed sidewalls) have about 4ft of same that's 21 ft.  Airtab recommends 3 per foot, so that's 63 Airtabs needed, priced at Rany's Truck Parts with shipping=$201.

 

My inner nerd is very tempted.
