This is the sort of thing I had in mind when I started this thread.
An Ultravan could be made even better with undertray, optimized wheel fairings, pizza pan wheel covers, removal of all that extra crap from esp. the front, flush windows and doors, recessed aero handles, smaller aero mirrors placed where the slipstream is slower, replacement of the headlights with conformal shape, etc..
The Corvair engine is less than optimal, as air cooling means enriched fuel mixture for evaporative cooling. Today, a TDI engine would be in order.
That said, what recently made motor homes are most like the Ultravan in shape and size?
