Anyone play with an airdam between the cab and camper ?

Anyone play with an airdam between the cab and camper ?

Gave this truck to the parents as the camper was a tiny bit overweight on their f150. The extra storage space on the deck sides will be handy too. However there is a huge gap above the cab and I bet a 1 or 2mpg improvement could be made by building some sort of air dam that redirects the wind from that pocket. Curious if anyone else has attempted this. Some ideas I've had are a foam pool noodle style rollcage pads with pvc pipe to hold it ridged, shaped in a V. It's a diesel with 6 speed manual so it gets pretty decent mileage as is, but with a 120L fuel tank it's limited on distance without filling the sides with gerry cans.

Hoping for pictures of rear stairs setups, maybe fold up and attached via the receiver hitch.

Parents are 75 years old. Mom with double hip replacements. I gave them a f350 dually flat deck truck to haul their camper with as their f150 was slightly over weight. However the flat deck sits slightly higher than the f150 bed, so their current fold up step ladder solution doesn't work anymore.

This is a 2000's era adventurer camper and doesn't have a bumper or any sort of "fox landing" option. I'm thinking of buying a receiver hitch extension and building a swing down stair structure. Possibly with a handrail. Also thinking of mounting hinges on the rear bumper/bulkhead of the flatdeck and have a wide platform that just hinges/swings downward when stationary.

Posted this in the hisense subreddit but no replies in 2 months so I'm going to try here incase anyone else has this issue. I'm more interested if its widespread or just me.

I have an 85" u88qg (or u8qg). Since I first purchased it late last year, I can't watch anything from external devices such as my Shield Pro. After about 5 minutes the audio starts to drop out. My receiver is connected via eARC.

If I switch it up so that the shield goes to the receiver, and then receiver sends audio/video to the TV, the audio dropouts stop but then I have heavy lipsync issues. The only way to get rid of the lipsync issues is to set the TV to game mode. So I cant use dolby vision IQ or other modes like Filmmaker mode.

I don't get audio dropouts from the internal tv apps, however those don't pass through lossless audio formats.

The fact that I don't see any talk about this makes me think that maybe it's an individual issue.
