Hello!
That tornado in the bed is a real drag, no pun intended. My thought was to build a system that got really close to the trailer face, that would move out of the way when turning sharply.
As far as boat tails go, thing about some simple brackets on the rear of the trailer, and removable or foldable panels like the new commercial trucks have. This is better than anything permanently mounted, if you ever intend to camp in tight spots. No need to re-skin anything.
