I am surprised and glad to hear it made so little difference on MPG. Wonder how much those deflectors off the top of the cab would change MPG?

Note: I remove the camper lift jacks after putting the camper on the truck and I do not have extended jack brackets on the camper. I suspect those things would add drag and lower mpg.

Turns out my 3 way fridge is dead, looking into a 2 way replacement, any suggestions? Also was thing of a slide out top load conversion. But would like to know what fits the opening where the old fridge went on my 2004 grandby.

I like the truckfridge brand, but any of the Indel compressor types are good... very power efficient.

I've ended up replacing the fridges in both of our campers. Ironically with the same model fridge. What I did was measure the opening height & width, and the depth, and then look at the various mfg's pages for the best fit model.
As it happened there was dead air spaces on each side, top, and bottom (due to how that model fridge is configured) where I was able to fit foam insulation using the mylar ducting tape to hold and seal it into place. I also used the tape to add a 1" thick layer of insulation to the rear of the fridge where it was easy to fit. Where the compressor & condenser are I just left alone.
Where does that road go?

Did anybody do anything with the louvered outside access door? Seems it would help with air circulation for the 2 way, but would also let in a lot of dust and cold air.

My step-father made a surround from simple baseboard molding that covered up the same mylar tape that I used to seal the fridge to the cabinet at the opening. Twice now he's done that for us.

Looks like you could go to a longer spring too. That would improve ride quality.

Springs are Skyjacker 6 inch lift, but were hitting the frame so I had to move them forward and add longer hangers. Unfortunately
now my drive shaft is to short...It never ends! It does ride better now.
