Along the lines of a boat tail, I have already thought about fabbing up a lock-box that would sit atop the boot, but that is mounted to the towbar. Ideally it would swivel out of the way when access to the boot was required. Only downside is losing rear vision.
The plan would be to increase storage for camping gear, etc (without using the roof), and hopefully shape it to improve FE.

I am planning a round the South Island trip in March/April next year, around 7000km worth (~4300 miles). That's pretty much the deadline for me to get everything sorted out, working, legal and known to be improving FE.
For now, small steps - get over 30MPG!
