Aerodynamic modification for fuel economy has been encouraged by the U.S. Department of Energy, since 1973.
Rear elongations of up to 60-inches are authorized for a solo vehicle.
TV/ Trailer combinations would be GVWR-limited. Aerodynamics is fair play within that parameter.
Sometimes the state police and highway patrol will 'take a look' but I've never been stopped for mods.
Since we share the road, being mindful of other's safety is a good thing.
OEM air-curtains are typically 'embedded' 'within' the body, where they won't shred the flesh off a pedestrian or cyclist should something go wrong.
That's all I was eluding to.
