Aerodynamic nose...

Saw this one in a rest area


AND even with that aerodynamic nose he still uses a spoiler on the TV.

Thanks for the photo!
I’ve never seen one of those before.

That spoiler is money wasted. It deflects air from the pointed nose and up onto the flatter top area. And it is far too short to get the air over the top. Sort of defeats the whole purpose.
Never seen one of those 5ers either. Sure improves the turn radius for a short bed without a slider. Wonder if they survived the economy.

Yep; Space Craft Technologies has had various campers at trade shows here in Kansas City and also had a couple of rigs at 'The Rally' in Albuquerque. Normally the ones we see are built on semi-chassis and then have matching 'extension trailers' for race cars, fans, etc., but they also build a very stout (and expensive) 5th wheel. All custom built from what I've seen.

I believe Space Craft custom builds each trailer to the buyer's specs. Some things are not custom, no doubt.

Awhile back I got my hair cut in Blue Springs, MO by a young lady who told me her inlaws own the Space Craft company.
