Anyone know where to order Roof Fairings to cut down wind drag?

I'm talking about for the AC Units and Fridge Vents. Have seen more Streamlined Fairings or Shrouds on newer model TT units for the AC and for the Fridge Vent.

I found a Camco Fridge Vent Cover that is aerodynamic, but it has a build in Solar Powered Fan Unit in it. I just want the basic shroud.

If your purpose is to save money by reducing drag don't bother. The likely break even point for the cost would most likely be longer than your expected life span (-:

Found what I was looking for in the cheaper version for the Fridge Vent! Same principle as Wheel Pants over Airplane tires. Less Drag.

This is the Non-Fan Unit by Camco. Ordered one today.
Hard to beat for $15.53 plus shipping.
