it looks kinda cool but what do you all think about using this to direct the air over my hitch tent and maybe saving me some kWs?

i doubt it will help much. the tent is flat on the top and its pretty close to the tail gate already. it it was taller than the tail gate or further back the spoiler might help some, but i would guess that most of the wind it just flying right past the gap as it sits now. $300 is a lot just to throw away for nothing if it doesn't work, or it could cause more drag too...

right thats why im asking. when im driving with the tent on, I can tell that a fair amount of air is diving into the gap between the tailgate and the tent. you can see the part of the tent cover that blocks the back up camera “molding” to the shape of the tent the faster I go. it makes me feel like the tent is acting like a drogue chute. wondering if the spoiler would shoot that air up and over the tent.

id probably test it with something first before blowing 300 on the spoiler. maybe make something with some wood block and attach something to the front that can hang down so you can pinch it with the bed cover. then see if that changes your efficiency any.
