Wind deflector cutsdrag and saves fuel

THERE is frequentdiscussion among caravanenthusiasts about thevalue of wind deflectorsfitted to tow vehicles.

Do they save fuel or not?It can arouse more

discussion than almostany other caravanning

accessory, yet it is difficult to find someonewho has tried a deflector not to agree that itis beneficial.

Although not true of all past designs,testing over the years has revealed thatsome deflectors have done more harm thangood. Aerodynamics is a very complexscience and the way that people think airbehaves is reflected in the various deflectordesigns which havebeen trialled.

Because of themany differentcaravan and towvehiclecombinations, untilnow there has beenno readily availableformula or scientificdata for calculatingcaravan deflector dimensions and theirefficiency.

However, a British caravan partscompany, Purpleline, recently concluded adecade of research to develop a deflector —known as the Aeroplus — which is nowavailable in Australia after undergoingextensive testing by the UK’s MotorIndustry Research Association.

The association is recognised as Britain’sleading automotive research body and itstesting revealed the Aeroplus reduced drag— thus increasing handling and towingstability — and cut fuel costs, as well asreducing the number of bugs, caught in thedraft, sticking to the front of the van.

The British testing, which was subjectedto very high wind forces, together with

further road analysis in Australia, revealedmuch improved economy has beenachieved. Fuel savings averaging 15 percent or between $4.50 and $5 per 100km havebeen recorded, depending on the towvehicle, van and fuel price.

On a recent trip to Victoria using theAeroplus, Perth resident Michael Pestwichsaid he saved between 10 and 15 per cent onfuel and the deflector made a significantreduction in the number of insects stickingto the front of his van. He also found theride was much better.

The MIRA tests were conducted understrict guidelines in a wind tunnel using anEnglish Swift caravan and both BMW andMazda tow vehicles

The Aeorplus deflector, which ismanufactured fromacrylonitrile butadienestyrene can be easilyinstalled by anyonewho can tighten aknob-screw. It issecured at two pointson a roof-rack bar asclose to the back of thevehicle as possible.

They can be fitted tomost standard roof-rack bars, such as theRola or Universal brands, and add only 0.3mto the vehicle height and weigh just 3.5kg.

The overall width is 135cm, with thedeflector height from the top of the roof-barbeing 20cm.

The designers say the speed of the vehiclewhen the deflector is fitted should notexceed 96km/h. It can easily be removedwhen you are not using your vehicle to tow.

Details, including a video of the UKtesting and installation instructions, can beviewed at purpleline.com.au. The unit costs$249 and Purpline are offering free shippingto anywhere in Australia.......................................................................................................■ For counter sales visit George Day Caravans,

The Department of Environment andConservation, together with adventure touroperator Global Gypsies, are offeringenvironmentally conscious holiday makers anopportunity to assist with fauna research andmonitoring projects while enjoying escortedoutback tours.

These science safaris to various outbackparks and reserves are arranged by GlobalGypsies, with DEC co-ordinating andsupervising the various tasks for participants.

The next safari will travel to Lorna Glen, aproposed conservation reserve about 165kmfrom Wiluna, from April 20-27.

The tour, which follows two similar safarislast year, will run as a tag-along trip, withvehicles travelling in a convoy led byaccredited eco guide Jeremy Perks.

There is a limit of 10 participants and theywill need to have a robust four-wheel-drivevehicle equipped with two-way radios. They

can bring off-road caravans, camper trailers ortents to use for accommodation.

Two places are also available in the escortvehicle, which is equipped with recoverygear, GPS, a satellite phone and first-aid kit.

As well as assisting the DEC with field work— which includes mulga and bilby monitoringand bird netting, fauna study and fencerepairs — there will be plenty of time forrelaxing with bushwalking, off-roadexcursions, photography and, for buddingartists, sketching and painting.

The cost is $2150 a person (driving ownvehicle), which includes catering, campingfees, scientific activities and a donation to theDEC Rangelands Restoration Project. The costfor escorted passengers is $2750..................................................................................................■ For more information, phone Global
