The aero drag on my brick-like Mombasa Expedition Tent (ARB, Camping Lab, etc.) is one of it's biggest cons in my experience. I'm wondering if a deflector like this one- www.expresstoolsandcamping.com.au/my_cube.htm would help much.
I often thought about building a spoiler for the RTT's and had sketched out some designs, but in talking to the owner of Eezi Awn his experience was this.
On a 7000 km trip through Namibia two identical vehicles with RTT's one with a spoiler and one without, the differences in fuel consumption were negligible.
So I moved on.

on my cherokee, I put up a thule deflector, did the same trip twice and tried to drive the same way twice.....didn't see any noticible difference in mileage. I don't think it would hurt to keep one there anyways.
