Congrats. Glad this forum was a big help, as it has been for many starting out like you and I.
While you won't need the tailgate, why not go down to the lumber yard and get a couple of 2X8s cut to the width of your bed opening? Tag the boards together with a couple of 1X2s. That will give you the strength and security for carrying a load in the bed, plus an important second use for your trip home with your new camper.
After you arrive to pick up your new camper, cut the boards into 24"+/- and use them for leveling ramps or security in the bed to keep from hitting the front of the bed by the camper install. I am sure you would ask the Wolf Creek Truck Camper people to cut a couple of lengths out of your boards.
Congrats, Welcome to the forum & Happy Camping!
