Tailgate up, down , vented or solid is not just an rvers question. Aerodynamically for fuel mileage by every study an in bed cargo full gate is best. Its about the vortexes created in the bed.
Keep your tailgate.
With my old Komfort, I had extreme turbulence in the bed. On windy days it verged on uncomfortable. Using a vented v-gate alleviated almost all of it. I've only towed my new KZ a few times and it seems much more aerodynamic and I seem to have much less turbulence in the bed with my standard gate. I've not yet taken a long enough trip to warrant swapping the gates to see if there's any difference, but I do plan on it.
