Hello,
Before I invest in a locking bed cover for my tow vehicle, I need to ask

Is a 5th wheel style tailgate necessary? I realize there is a convince factor BUT is there a Safety reason for having one? I don't mind opening and closing while setup or take-down of campsites. And I understand some folks damage there original tailgates by not closing or opening when they should.

I'm mostly interested in your comments that while my 5th wheel is connected properly to my tow truck can my tailgate be damaged while towing?

THANKS!!!
