Boat tail sounds great, but side skirts should also be considered. 5ers are unstable in crosswinds. (They tip to one side on super limited travel suspensions; a problem with that huge sail area). Keeping winds from under trailer would be a priority to me.

I'd also stop by a CAT Scale to see both truck solo against truck hitched weights. Be sure truck front axle is being returned to solo weight value when hitched. (Full
Propane, full fresh water and top off truck fuel tank before scale passes).
