Thanks, Phil! It's taken some time to collect all those toys in preparation for some serious time on the road exploring this wonderful country of ours, hopefully in the near future. As you can see there are a number of elements that would be interesting to model. I'm planning solar panels too with the idea of double duty as a cab deflector. Hence a desire to use CFD as a design tool per my other topic (wake field of pickup).

Anyway. the generator is the black thing on the nose.

Except that's a nylon cover not ABS. There were a number of reasons why that was my best place for it. Blocking cross flow was not original motivation. It worked out that way though.

Regarding this trailer project, I made good progress today. Most of the hard parts are done. I can post some pix later. I changed my design based on final measurements so it will look a bit different from the animation but the first order idea is the same.

Cheers
