Update on my Styrofoam job >> it failed miserably the drive test.
I don't think it was the wind pressure alone, but the movement between truck cabin and camper "walked" the Styrofoam out of alignment and it was taken by the wind just miles from home.
How crucial can be the passage proved yesterday, when we pull over to AZ site camp with no hookups and no shade.
My Generac would start, run AC for 10 minutes and die.
Entering the camper was like entering the oven, but I used sleeping bag to seal the space around the window, set the truck AC to max fan (Max AC run in close loop, so you don't want it) and with Fantastic fan in the rear of the camper pulling some air, I got nice breeze inside from the truck.
Now in Phoenix not only I am working on fixing darn Generac, but I am shopping around for motorcycle or other inner tube.
