The 5ths rebuild will be all about curves, we have the technology, it'll be a light ply open web framework, composite shell built as a sandwich panel (SIP style) with an eye to taking every Aero advantage I can get (we do a lot of miles with it in tow)

The 35 torpedo - is somewhat where I want to go with the overall shape, but in a 5th setup... but it goes back to that truck to trailer interface - i m sure there's some improvement to be had there...

The weekender / cub - I've gone as far as swapping the frames, it doesn't make sense... the weekender with 5x10 sides, always pulls better than the cub (4x8 ply sides) - its been shown behind a wave, matrix, Tacoma, my full size with the truck camper on... its counter intuitive, the weekender is almost 300lbs heavier, has a bigger profile, but always gets better highway mileage...
