$135k for a very basic camper?
Have you guys seen this? After seeing the price it looks more like an April fools joke. They seem to act like the idea of a truck camper is revolutionary. Loki camper

Talking about aerodynamic design, I did learn aerodynamics in my younger years and when aerodynamics don't have mathematic formulas and require wind tunnels for design, main rule is that shape of the front has neglectable impact on air drag, when >90 % depends on smooth rear.
I see this camper has square rear like most, while narrower front lower the comfort.
In my travels I had 2 campers. 12' Lance and 12' Fleetwood.
When both campers had similar floor plans and similar weight, Fleetwood being basement camper was about foot higher.
Regardless expectation that higher camper will lower mpg, that did not show clearly on my records and I enter each fill up on fuelly.
With camper I always set CC to 60 mph, so that is consistent.
Actually checking my records the taller camper shows better mpg, but I think that is due the fact that I had new truck, who with lower camper was in break-in period, while having over 20k miles on odometer with higher camper, the engine start showing better performance.
Either way, the differences are within common differences due winds and different fuels.
