Although your engine bay + cab is as long as my entire car, it looks like you're headed in the right direction. Any plans for an aerodynamic bed cap?

Aerobed cap possibly in the future. Right now I need to fix the camper jacks so I can take it off when I am not using it. I bought it at Thanksgiving. Talk about having your mileage go down. It is an aerodynamic nightmare. Plus, it weighs 2000lbs. Truck is about 7100lbs empty, so is right at 9100lbs with the camper. It got about 16mpg with the camper driving 800 miles over Thanksgiving break. About 7 mpg less than without the camper. I like the idea of the aerobed cap, maybe when a few other projects are done..lol.

I need some black spray paint for the coroplast..lol
