Google up "Bowlus Road chief" and get a gander at that old rascal. It is the daddy of the Airstream trailers of today.

I'm thinking if you combined the slick shape of the Road Chief with the low height of a Hi-Lo you have a very low drag. The Road Chief is only 80 inches wide do to regain interior space (the whole purpose of an RV) you'd have to go longer.
