I have a KW T-300 with a 96" Bentz sleeper. I started putting Airtabs on my truck 2 years ago. My current count is 138.
When I put them on the roof and sides of the box as recommended, I found that big trucks don't suck anymore when they pass me.
I added them to the front of my sleeper, right where it levels out. That improved my fuel mileage by 3/10 of a mpg, because the air now flows over the top of the box.
They are on the top and side of my fenders. Last summer my truck consistently ran 20 degrees cooler than it had the last 2 years with no other changes.
They are on the back of my west-coast mirrors, the water doesn't wrap around like it used to. I've had too much else going on to be able to get mpg #s since adding those and the ones on the trailing edges of my toolboxes.
No, Lawrence, I don't like them, I just don't have any other use for my money

We had them on the last truck that we were in, Hino ST. They really helped with the stability of the truck when we were passed by semi's. I know they helped with mpg but I don't have any numbers. I wish we had them on this truck, also a Hino, just for the added stability.

They say that Air Tab was developed by NASA ,
and i always wondered if they really work in space ...

The mpg maybe a mile per gallon,i have a high top ford e250.I agree they help stability when passing or being passed by other vehicles.

We have had our AirTabs for over three years on a M2 Freightliner straight truck. Did not notice much change in fuel mileage but sure like the stability of the truck. They are inexpensive enough even if you are a driver and your owner would not mind I would put them on any truck I drove for very long.

Our AirTabs have been through ever kind of truck wash you can imagine and we have not lost one. We just cleaned the surface of the truck well and applied them with the template.

Amazing things.

Yes, we use Airtabs. Yes, we like them. Application: CR-unit.

I have them on my sprinter and they do help with stability. During storms when I look out the side mirrors it's clear to the rear. After a snowstorm the sides of the van were black, but the rear was still mostly clean.

Yes, we purchased air tabs for this truck. We haven't gone to the extreme that GottaGo has, but we've thought about it. We're in a Western Star and that "billboard" out front isn't exactly wind friendly.

We love them. They have increased the visibility to the rear, and they keep the rear doors much cleaner. Numerous truck washes and they're still hanging in there. Just followed the directions for installation. Piece of cake.

Would you folks have any photos of your truck/airtabs? Let me know - Thanks!

I woldn't think so moose as there is no air in space.

**Lawrence** · 03-24-2009, 05:10 PM

Thank Moose!

Here are a few of our pictures. We have had the AirTabs on for almost four years. We have never lost an AirTab and the truck has been power washed often.
