Suppose you could swing the door open only about 90-12 or 78 degrees. That would accommodate a fixed boxed cavity rather than a trailer tail.
The flush, potentially curved, surface would improve over the step and gap of a hinged solution. Not yet sure what would happen across the top.

HI,
Just curious but isn't the trailer tail basically a boxed cavity ?
Also, In some of the trailer tail pics I noticed that the sides and / or the bottom panels don't go down as far as it could (or should ?) does this hurt efficiency?
When I build the trailer tail my idea would be to go down more or less to where my rear bumper is (or would have been if I in fact had a rear bumper (the van did not come with one and I hacve not been able to find one at a junkyard).... I'm guessing that would be best for drag reduction?
