I do have an option for you but the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate part # VGD-10-4000 does not have a spot for the factory backup camera. Therefore you would either need to find a way to mount this yourself, go without, or use a new camera system. For the new system, the best option we have is the Rear View Safety Backup Camera System part # RVS-718-DODGE and part # RVS-778. This system will replace the rear view mirror with a dual purpose mirror/monitor so you don't have any extra monitor on the dash and it uses a license plate camera bracket for a clean look.

I have attached an install photo of the tailgate for you as well.
