Keeping the area low would probably do just as much as improving aerodynamics, yes?

EDIT:

Attached a second concept where the roof is tilted back. Same original roof, just tilted because side windows are removed.

Mattress near floor, with enough room to sit up in bed, but not stand or jump on bed at about 5 foot ceiling.

Shower just enough headroom a +6 foot (allowed in building code at one time), dining area at 7 foot, living area at 8 foot proper.

Think like a yacht designer.

The thing that ruins it for RV's is all the junk they put on the roof like air-conditioners etc.

Stuff the A/C unit in lower part between the wheelbase in a well ventilated chamber, louvers or mesh screen panel covering.

I like the box-cavity rear porch area Freebeard mused about, would totally work. Heck, put a yacht-like balcony in there like a train car.
