You no longer fear 2x2s and sheet aluminum. When you're back off tour, pie cut the body on each side, from the rear bumper up to the back of the wheel well. Tapering the rear 2-3' of wall (≤15°) would reduce the rear wake, where it's all base pressure X surface area,

It would be a more subtle change visually than what you've done already, and would augment any boat-tailing you do later.
