I know a lot of folks here don't feel it's worth doing anything radical for small improvements in mileage;

"8 to 10 depending on whether or not you tow"

But i have this ridiculous idea i want to toss out;

With a tankless water heater i would be left with an empty vented space. With a little re-engineering and maybe an exhaust blower, i could put house AC in the spot.

My 1965 Boles Aero Trailer came with a factory installed Westinghouse AC placed under the fridge and vented down- worked perfectly in a 24 foot trailer.

I would love to have a clean roof, lower clearance, and if there was a measurable decrease in drag that would be a plus.
