Isnt the rear a liftgate?

I want to know what the thing in the ceiling of the shower is?
Looks like a dump valve, maybe an exhaust fan with a dump valve to seal it shut?

Looks like a build @Petrolburner is going for...

Hey brian94ht, YOU are CORRECT Sir...! So many rigs have the large inefficient fan/vent combo with little r-value. Boondocking in freezing conditions n trying to conserve water you don’t need much of a vent. This setup is way custom. Basically.... A sink drain comes in thru the wall, the flared end is outside. Next the dump valve followed by a squirrel cage fan and a rheostat to control fan speed. Funny... I was unable to find one of these on any RV catalog..!!!
This is just one of the reasons it took a yr to build this rig. Thanks for the question.

Hey, here’s a recent pic showing nose cone.

How much did the nose cone help your mpg? Bump for a nice stealth camper.

I’m adding more pics that should have been done from the start...new b mistake.
The top pic is our clothes storage shelves behind the sliding doors. This is over the bike storage area.

Hey shortbus, Maybe .5 - 1 mile. However it really made a BIG difference in the drive. I don’t feel like I’m pushing as much air....if that makes sense. If you look at the pre-cone frontal pic in the original listing you can see all the bug and debris. It has reduced that probably 60%.. so you can see it’s working. Also the cab is far more quiet...less turbulence. I actually saw the cone on a truck in an Idaho junkyard while on our trip. The guy said a 100 bucks and u remove....deal. We rented 2 ladders from Home Depot and installed on our rig the next day while in their parking lot.
I’m now a huge fan of Nose Cone or similar devices. No more flat front trucks or trailers for me.
Thanks for the question... as I’m sure it will help others.

These are great pics to show departure angle. Location was in “Valley of the Gods”. This hazzzy day rendered BREATH TAKING views of the area. The road makes about an 18 mile loop as I remember. Had our rig been much longer or less ground clearance a turn around would have been mandatory. Standard 28ft class C....forget about it.

This picture is from Yellowstone NP. Advance 4x4 of Salt Lake installed our 4x4 system as well as over 35 of these for Yellowstone. I should have gone for those gears and tires.,!!
