The present disclosure is directed to a rotatable fairing panel at a rear end of a sleeper cab. The rotatable fairing panel covers an opening between a trailer attached to a vehicle and the sleeper cab of the vehicle. The rotatable fairing panel has a closed position and an opened position. At least one locking assembly locks the rotatable fairing panel in place when in the closed position. The at least one locking assembly is configured to be unlocked by a user such that the rotatable fairing panel may be rotated from the closed position to the opened position such that a user may access the opening between the trailer attached to the vehicle and the sleeper cab of the vehicle. The at least one locking assembly automatically locks when the user rotates the rotatable fairing panel into the closed position.
