Do "vented" tailgates help on 5th wheels?
Friend of mine says he gets better mileage with a vented/louvered tailgate. Do they really make a difference or is it just another novelty item that's nice to have but not needed.

We opted not to get one because of loading and unloading. When I load the generator I sit it on the tailgate then climb up and move it to right behind the cab , do the same with the bikes. Just don't seem like the louvered tailgates would stand up to that, but I do like the idea of not having to open and close the tailgate for hitching. Other than driving gently not sure how much you can truly improve gas mileage when pulling 10,000 lbs.
