An aerodynamic device for a trailer is provided that includes an air fairing or skirt that smoothly transitions into a fender for the wheels of the trailer. The aerodynamic device may be a substantially unibody member that has a forward region, a transition region, and a rear region. The first region defines the aerodynamic skirt beneath the trailer and the second planar region defines the fender for wheels of the trailer such that the fairing smoothly transitions from the skirt beneath the trailer to the fender covering the wheels based the shape of the bend in the transition region.
