REFLECTOR: wheel pant

[Dugas Bellsouth]

RV's have done the research. With 6000 built I would consider the newest RV pant. I've been told they increase speed on an RV by 6 knts.  Your mileage may vary. They are very wide.

Gary Hertzler told me once that the wheel pant should be three times as long as it is wide for good aerodynamics. I have been looking at several that are offered on the after market but am not sure what effect they will have on my catering nose wheel. How does one determine how it should be mounted for balance. Any thoughts?
