actually not too far from what i ended up with:

(not mine, but same year/model)

got a 2004 Aerotech 22 foot with a 6.0 PSD.

still working through the mechanicals, while it was fleet maintained, it also sat for quite some time - but i expect that i should be able to eek out 15+ with it without any modifications. I plan on doing a boat tail with storage in it similar to Orbywan as well as wheel well covers, mirror delete, etc.

can't be worse than the 10 mpg i get now pulling my 19' with my durango.
