I suggest you check the effect on your fuel consumption Maureen.
If they are diverting the airflow , they may have a very adverse effect.

Have you considered what the Yanks call a brassier?

Here's one for a VW camper.

If the effect on fuel economy by fitting a dirt skirt weighs heavliy on your mind,
Might i suggest you skip breakfast before you set off, that would in all probability ballance things outoh:

They keep the back of the van much cleaner as well. Only downside would be if they clog up with snow the weight could tear them off possibly damaging your van. Make sure brackets etc are up to the job and you should be O.K.

Geo, you aught to know better than that.
Some types even improve economy.
As I said, check with the manufacturer.

Dunno ScotJimLand.
Depends on the type.
