Clev - Looks good!

I was more thinking about just literally getting an old broken Uhaul and starting with what they have..

If I was going to do that, I think I'd go with a 24' at least, and probably cut down the sides at a hefty angle, and make a popup frame so that I could lay down the top when I'm not using the camper part, but wind it back up when we're not traveling on the road. That would keep the aero aspect in check, by keeping the trailing edge of the truck as short as possible while traveling.
