dunno if the "underpowered" card makes a lick of sense, its a lot more complicated than that.

This thing is the working definition of what NOT to do, aerodynamically,

Modification of it would start with a trip to the crusher, a la Breaking Bad episode a couple of weeks ago.

Now, does anybody know of any RV or truck sorta like the Ultravan, i.e., designed with at least some aerodynamic efficiency in mind, of, say the past 20 years? I have in mind a search for a good used RV motorhome, with nice gentle curvature in its sheet metal sorta like a VW microbus, only bigger.
