That is impressive! While I am not sure I want to add that much length to my 25' Axis, you would think that some RV manufacturer would take some of the easier mods and improve the gas mileage of their coaches by 10-15%. Using a lower A/C cover, closing off the under carriage and a little redesign of the rear might make a significant difference. When the price of gas goes up again, better gas mileage might just keep you in business. During the last $4 a gallon gas period, large RV sales plummeted with people looking for smaller rigs for better gas mileage. That could easily happen again.
