What's the best RV/motorhome aerodynamically?

[godscountry]

very nice,if money wasn't a issue a light weight motor home that retracts into itself,making a narrow streamlined vehicle with as low CD.When you park it spreads out.Easy to build but expensive parts,most hand machined.

Makes one want to weep! Thanks for all the data-mining.

Thanks botsapper and aerohead!

I guess Opera is broken. When I follow the link in Opera I get a blank page and when I reload (having Opened in a background tab) I can see a flash of the Futureliner before it goes blank again.

So I opened it in Safari and was able to see it. I wouldn't have tried absent aerohead's endorsement.

kach22i, that vixen looks best when pictured over the black coroplast
As for the original question I can't offer much, as I will always be a Tow Vehicle/trailer kind of guy.
I can build the lowest floor with one of those. Low floor = low height and frontal area.

Notice how the rear bumper is notched out to clear the door? Everything below the rocker panel is the plumbing drain or drain pipe storage.

Do you own that, Freebeard?

More like 'Are you still dragging around that ball-and-chain?' I'm really tempted to jack it up, drop the front sub-frame out and put a temporary tongue and hitch ball on it and scrap the rest.

Behind a rusted out pickup truck body, it would make a kick-@ss bobber truck. See also the reverse trike motorhome in the above post.

Too bad that Cortez is so rough. I have the *perfect* engine for it here, an Isuzu 4BD1T 3.9 turbo diesel. build an adapter and viola, a few more MPGs.
