Tailgate for a truck camper

The only REAL issue is the cables or straps that hold the gate when it’s open usually interfere with the camper because it widens out right behind the truck bed, and/or the camper has holding tanks below the rear overhang area, or a black tank dump port.

As for the notion that the gate will be damaged because it isn’t designed to support much weight, how much weight is really on it if you can remove the tailgate and carry the camper without it?!!

I agree, I don't think the weight would be a problem with it distributed across the truck bed. It's not like it's all sitting directly on the truck tailgate.
