Here is an update on the camper. It has been from Bellingham to Sacremento and over to Pasco, WA in the last 3 weeks. The flat front doesn't affect the mpg as bad as I thought, I am getting 17 on my diesel F-250. I plan on putting a wind deflector on the cab eventually.

The unit cruises well and is quite comfortable.

There is a drawback though, everywhere I go someone wants to chat about it or someone in the early morning hours talks loudly to his buds about it. :thumbdown: I can live with it :)
