Front air dam

[roy goble]

Has anyone tried to extend the front air dam down to stop turbulance under the coach? Seems this might help fuel economy, and improve handling. Works on race cars.

Race cars do not drive on this nations bumpy roads. My front is only 8-9 inches off the road now,and I do not want it any lower. So it depends on the make of MH as to how high you sit from the pavement. My observation is that most of the mid 2000's and up models are lower in the front for aero reasons which should give better fuel mileage. But you can only get so much, as they are all still big boxes that push lots of air.
