Yes, I was able to order the RV fairings direct from Van's. I oil tested them after I installed them, to gage the eye ball design intersection fairing I made for our landing gear legs.  

 

The outside of the fairings give classic "text book" laminar flow. The inside, with my first attempt at a fairing, were terrible. My guess, from the 2D mapping of the oil, is that I had created a HUGE area of airflow separation. 

 

It took a few iterations with clay to make a fairing that finally held the air to the fairing for most of the distance, but still not the beautiful flow the other side gives. 

 

There's more to this aerodynamic stuff that meets the eye.
