Saving on fuel. A TDI Jetta pulling a 19' Airstream is easily in the mid 30s for mpg. Far better comforts than a van. Etc. Thousands of used ones out there. Replace tow vehicle as needed.

I'd stick with the Powerstroke. In an EMP disaster one won't be getting fuel anyways.

Read orbywans threads on a boat tail for his Class C motorhome. (Aero RV . . . ). That's the approach for a commercial van. Freebeard and aerohead both have comments about building foldable aero devices. Store when not in use.
