   I have an old full batten main too. Maybe I'll use that for awning v2.0, good idea.
The stinkpot Coachmen probably won't know the rules, so Hard Alee! And don't spill your beer.

	Actually I've done a lot of "one off" fiberglass fabrication. I was thinking about making a fiberglass "V" that would contore to the shape of the front of the pod so well it could be attached by using a marine grade sealant like 5200 or better to see what effet it would have on gas mileage/wind resistance. It wouldn't be a simple "V" as the V itself would have convex sides and top for that "oh so slippery feel" and dramatic looks. Making the mold for more than just a 'one off" would be expensive as I no longer have free access to a fiberglass shop (but) plastic extrusion might be the way to go (even lighter than fiberglass) if enough POD owners committed to buy. This is just an idea and I haven't even created/or drawn a template yet. Let me know your thoughts and maybe one of your forum members can guesstimate fuel savings. I know somebody makes a camper with a "V" in front but it's ugly and without design imagination.
