Okay, here's a challenge (mod my Winnebago!)

Hi everyone, been watching this forum for a while now but just joined so I could post this. I recently acquired an old RV for very cheap, and am planning on taking it cross country and back, approximately 8k miles. I've been trying to figure out how to shave costs, and I've been working on getting the engine in top shape (easy enough, it only has 29k miles on it) and will soon begin modifications for biodiesel and SVO/WVO fuels, including the possibility of take-along processing equipment. I'm looking for any other tips, whether aerodynamic or whatever, which anyone can offer. I'm happy to get into all sorts of DIY and experimental stuff, but I don't have a welding kit (yet) so that may limit my options. Below two pictures of the model, it's a 1983 Winnebago Brave, 27'. These are not pictures of mine, just a very similar one, mine is almost identical but in slightly worse shape and lacking the rear bumper skirt. And please, don't bother telling me I'm wasting my time because it's a) old, b) an aerodynamic abomination, or c) innately inefficient. On an 8,000 mile trip with a very limited budget, a single extra mile per gallon adds up. Thanks!
