I've chronicled my build really well but gotten behind a bit so I don't have a writeup on my front air dam yet, I'll try to post it up soon.

Thanks for the input GeoM, I will try an air dam when I can get back to this. Let me ask you and everyone a question. The RV suspension has a nose down attitude. CamperBob visited a while back (thanks for the input Bob, I enjoyed meeting you) and commented that I might want to make some vertical panels running front to back (on the belly pan in the rear) to keep the turbulence down that occurs under there when the rear is higher than the front. I think that's what he said, if I got it wrong Bob I apologize.
Would anybody hazard a guess as to how much of an issue this is? I haven't been able to do any seriously valid testing since I did the belly pans but I don't think they made that much of a difference. I think what GM and CamperBob are pointing out may have something to do with it. What I'm considering is removing several leaf springs in the rear and installing air bags under the rear end so I can control the ride height regardless of load.
That's more of a functional issue than aero, but what the hell, it might help.
