Why is that interesting? If you drew a line from the front of the front fender to the widest part of the RV body right behind the door, the door was sucked right to the edge of that line and did not want to let me pull it back. In other words it was stuck in the vacuum or eddy created by the wind having to go from the width of the front cab to the width of the camper body. A pretty cool demonstration of aerodynamics at work, and a perfect demonstration of why I can't wait to modify both sides of the body to reduce that effect. That combined with the wheel fairings will put this beast over the top I think.

Forgot the photos - On the monitor view, the far right view is of the top part of the hitch that is inside the boat tail. This is what I used to monitor the hitch movement while driving.

The left top view is the pan and tilt camera view on the back of the boat tail, the lower left is a view of the belly pans looking forward from under the driver's seat area, the lower right view is looking at the bellypans from the driver's seat area looking rearward. It also has left and right mirror cams (turn signal triggered, or manually selected), and a forward looking and a rearward looking roof-top cameras.

Next up is to extend the transom camera cable on the boat so I can hook it into the system and have a camera view from the rear of the boat transom when towing. Yehaa.
