Randy, I had not realized that you had an Alfa. The high ceiling and corresponding increase in frontal area will make your job a little tougher. My 2000 Newmar only has a 6'6" ceiling so lower frontal area. As a tall guy, I've often admired those Alfas

Traditionally, motorhome designers have not given much attention to aerodynamics. If you look at the amount of frontal area created by the tall storage compartments you can see how they could have improved frontal area quite a bit. Also, the airconditions could have been integrated more smoothly into the overall design.
