I think you guys might be missing the big picture here- one of the biggest things dragging fe down is that generator; if you can get away with it, don't use it. Call ahead, know where you're going, and pull into places that have electric hookups.

I wouldn't be ripping apart a new big dollar rig and pumping even more money in it. I would consider deleting the lumps and bumps off the roof, though, if they were expendable.
Ah, but Frank, you are joining people in being sensible. If I read it right, the OP is just asking for our creativity in what we would do. From their comment about no card board and for a professional organization, I doubt they will be Able to seriously consider it.

Or are there actual intentions on ecomodding it?
