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.

Ever see the Mythbusters episode where they tested mileage on a truck with both tailgate on and off? The truck with the tailgate on got better mileage. MYTH BUSTED...
Not to mention those damn vented tailgates are hideously ugly...
+1 I was going to mention that Myth Busters episode! That said, I do have one of these tailgates but only because of the ease of hitching. And I agree the stock tailgate looked much better.
