Aerocaps are alive and well in China (pickup truck aero shells)
 

After going to alibaba.com and word searching camper shell, several Chinese manufacturers came up who produced aerocaps. It seems they are selling in the far east with much success.

After trying to get an American manufacturer to produce the Aerolid for over seven years now, I might have to talk to these guys.

...just wait and Walmart will have them in the automotive department (wink,wink)!

...or Harbor Freight. ;)

US patents mean nothing to the Chinese, until they bring them to the US. Maybe they won't fall apart in a moth or be full of lead or other hazardous wastes.

I wonder how aerodynamic they are. From what I could gather from the listings, they're marketed as "sport canopies" with no mention of improved mileage. They probably happen to help, but with some room for improvement.

I wonder how much windtunnels cost in China.

Bet they have lots of string and plenty of mountains for coast down testing.
Do they have a hinge at the top?

Like that crappy Apple stuff.

I really like my Android! :D
