UTILITY EASY-OFF TAILGATE • To simplify mounting of a camper unit with an overhang, the tailgate can be removed. NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with a rear camera the electrical connector must be disconnected prior to removing the tailgate. Locking Tailgate The lock is located next to the tailgate handle. The tailgate can be locked using the vehicle key. Removing the Tailgate • Disconnect the wiring harness for the rear camera (if equipped). • Unlatch the tailgate and remove the support cables by releasing the lock tang from the pivot. • Raise the right side of the tailgate until the right side pivot clears the hanger bracket. • Slide the entire tailgate to the right to free the left side pivot. • Remove the tailgate from the vehicle. NOTE: Do not carry the tailgate loose in the truck pickup box. WARNING! To avoid inhaling carbon monoxide, which is deadly, the exhaust system on vehicles equipped with "Cap or Slide-In Campers" should extend beyond the overhanging camper compartment and be free of leaks. 43
