The front edges should definitely be radiused if you're not going to go with some skirt, we just ran out of time for the skirt before we left.

Update: Still no skirt.

Today's Trip distance: 200 miles (Flagstaff, AZ to Thoreau, NM)
Average Speed: 55 mph
Terrain: Rolling
AC On
Net Elevation Change: -400 ft.
Average Elevation: ~6700 ft
Average MPG: 43.0 mpg!


Thrilled with the numbers today, we finally exceeded our goal of 40 mpg for this project.

We caught up with our package in Flagstaff that contains our Spandex, sewing machine, LaminX and velcro for making our skirt/gap filler.

If the skirt doesn't work out, we'll do some sort of pool noodle setup to radius the edges, I like that idea Metro!

If things go well stitching up our spandex skirt at the campsite tonight, we may leave our campsite with some type of gap filler tomorrow!

Cheers
