Tailgate for a truck camper
Do you have to remove the tailgate for a truck camper?

Motorcycle wheel is akin to a point load. Camper is not.
But some of you are missing the actual point. If a camper is designed to hold its own weight, fairly rigidly, cantilevered off the back of the bed, then it’s not really relying on the tailgate if the tailgate surface is on the same plane as the truck bed.
Seems like the obvious “no” answers here are from those who don’t conceptually understand what they’re looking at.
