Mid roof sleeper on a van. Would a nose cone help?

There's a lot of 9400 and 9200 mid roof internationals for sale. Theyre perfect for what I want them for but Ive been afraid of having the same issue youre having now.

As someone who has pulled a van in a tractor, with and without a nose cone, I think it makes a big difference in the way it handles; still looking into it though.

Let me know how it works out.

 

I think you guys are crazy and that stuff is in your head. I can't tell any difference at all between handling of a midroof tractor with no roof fairing pulling a van (what I have now for the past 6 years) and full condo sleeper pulling a van (what I drove for 9 years prior). Fuel mileage, yeah. Slow down and you can make up a lot of difference though.

Having an understanding of fluid dynamics in one's head might not be a bad thing... Slowing down helps mitigate poor aero - but that applies (albeit inequally) to both trucks with one or more aero mods and trucks without.
