Aerodynamics Matter !!
Hello All. First post here... wanted to share some data on aerodynamics. I am designing an ultralight (under 100 lbs/ft) small travel trailer and wanted to find out the effect of shape on aerodyna...

Excellent points - Thanks! The a/c units have always been a sore spot (and an eye sore). I would like to see it a) reduced in size (by proper insulation) and b) moved off the top.
Another pet peeve is regarding the height of the unit. I find that some sit so high on the frame that they are sticking way above the TV. Not only do they look outright silly but that must move the center of gravity up considerably. Every square inch exposed above the TV increases frontal area and drag force. The big gap underneath probably doesn't help airflow either (pure speculation).
