FWIW, I camped for a summer in an '81 Toyota Celica Liftback, whose hatch is roughly analogous to a small aerocap. I set out with a nice Coroplast rig to enclose the back section for camping with the hatch open, so I could sit in bug-free splendour and enjoy a picture window. Overall, I found the biggest improvement over bicycle camping was the ability to camp on gravel or mud.
By the second month, I'd quit using the extension, and made the interior arrangements more compact. I'm following that trend in Stealth RV. One of the tidiest spaces I've ever seen was inside a 19' sailboat, Tiny Dancer, on her way around the world.
A place to stand up is the only real luxury increment in these things - I'd be inclined to have a swing-up cap to allow that, while travelling as an aerocap.
BTW, an inflatable tail cone can be added to the tailgate - a big, bluff stern is not mandated. A lot of wake reduction might be managed with underbody tunnels, too.
