truck pop up

I bought an older truck Jaco 8 foot truck pop camper. I'm suprised at how much I noticed it on the truck for wieght and wind restance. I got 15 mpg last trip with just the camper and 5 people. I guess i wasn't that bad. I sure know it's there. I bought A hwing sway bar wich made a big difference for how it drive's and was well worth the money. How would a fithwheel be? This truck camper goes up a hill and pull like my 6500 pound Boat. I think it runs more boost with the camper a 70mph that the boat. this is a pop up camper. I didn't think i would take that much power!
