When Bugg Banner first came out, we purchased it. Seem like a good product, but due to the shape of our front nose cap, it didn't work.

We couldn't get the banner to stay tight, and the wind just beat it. The banner damaged our front end. The company did take the product back and refunded the purchase price.

I have seen one of these in a fifth wheel front cap and would sure hate to damage the cap. What appealed to me about the Fit2Ride option is that strong magnets are installed on the inside of the front cab window and looks like a very tight fit.

How would a wind deflector on the top of the truck work for you?
