When not in use it could be dressed up as a crazy airdam pointing down the highway. Probably getting some wicked mileage.

But the drawback would be you might end up traveling between RV parks, and putting up with geritol and metamucil rage.

Okay, looking back maybe not a good idea.

Here's another one better I think. This one could actually work.

How about a trunk mounted boat tail bike rack?

I pulled up behind a car yesterday and saw they had a bike rack on their trunk and thought "what waste there was no boat tail attached to it" no bike either for that matter.

It's light weight and removable. Maybe a great test platform.
The boattail idea with the bike rack is something I've thought about in the past, and this might just motivate me to get it done.
