Sorry to waste anyone's time here, what is lacking here specifically?
No problem. Some of the best threads result from a one-post-hit-and-run poster.

My concern and focus was geared more towards typical RV two axle, large relatively rear overhang applications with "average" drivers in cross wind situations.
The discussion of rudders and semi trailer tails was from lack of context. A two-axle RV with large overhang could range from a Toyota class C motorhome to a Prevost.

aerohead likes numbers. Wheelbase? Overhang? Width? Height? ....for starters. Aeroforms are a totality. What happens in front can affect the rear --the classic example is a Porsche 911; if you add a spoiler at the back it has to be balanced be an airdam in front.

Pictures help.

Bench racing? Have you seen this:


IIRC 123MPH, or so. Good front pressure gradient, lots of length for reattachment, I forget about the rear difusser, but they had another car on the salt.
