I have been mulling this over and decided I just had to know what would happen if I chopped the sleeper off mpg wise. So chop chop.!
It's almost done, looks like a poor mans fat sprinter now. It's not perfect, but I did my best. My neighbors thought I was nuts.
I still have a sleeping area, and the aerodynamics are much improved from the awfulness that was a standard class C.
I lost about 200lbs from removed windows and wood.
Also spent some time playing with the engine's tune. Found a pretty substantial vacuum leak, and fixed it. Up to 19inches vacuum at idle now.
Plans to do before tour:
Truncated removable coroplast tail
Partial grill blocking
Coroplast side and front dams
Small mirrors (the ones I have now are HUGE, like 1ft by 6inches)
My goal is still 10mpg, but even if I just get 1or 2 mpg better it would be worth it.
Pics in a bit.
