Ogive curves added to the front edges of the van body.

edit: The picture was embarrassing, so I took it to the GIMP. The result is embarrassing, I can't seem to resize the Smudge tooll.
i like it!

i was thinking something similar for the mirrors or even possibly replacing them with cameras - i already have them for my current travel trailer.

i actually might be able to get a photogrammetry scan of the vehicle after i get one - the university i work for has equipment like that and might let me check it out.. i may also have access to software to model it as well as fluid dynamic modeling software (and there are some free options out there for both..)
