Fifth Wheel Tailgates

Hello fellow RVers, I recently made a mistake in not insuring my king pin was locked in hitch and my trailer slipped out just enough to destroy my tailgate. I’ve been thinking about one of the louvered Tailgates but can’t decide which one to buy.
How about some suggestions!

You should list your truck. But,
I have the Husky liners aluminium louvered one. I researched alot of them and the black resin or plastic ones were prone to breaking if you put any weight on them. I've had this one for years and they offer a replacement handle so you can incorporate the backup camera.
Maybe pricey to some but you get what you pay for and it's cheaper a LOT of times than a new tailgate. Plus it can be repaired by welding since it's all aluminum if something is to happen again.
