Great Tailgate

Custom Flow® V-EL28 - Elite Series 5th Wheel Tailgate

I love this tailgate. So easy to install. Perfect for rv fifthwheel campers. No more remembering to lower the tailgate while loading or unloading. Very lightweight to handle or remove.

3 Months Late

The product looks great. Truly enjoyed putting it on. However there's definitely more to complain about than be excited about. I ordered this as a Father's Day gift a week before Father's Day and it took 3 full months to get to me. The customer service was great and very responsive. However they just kept pushing the shipping date back it was extremely frustrating. I told them I've never written a bad review and I never planned on writing one but when your 3 months late it's hard not to speak your voice. Also the tailgate had a dent in it from shipping. Besides that decent tailgate.

5th Wheel Tailgate

Other than how long it took to get and I did find a dent on it I love the looks and that it comes pretty much ready to install out of the box. I would recommend this tailgate.

Awesome Product!

Custom Flow® V-EL22 - Elite Series 5th Wheel Tailgate

I was very pleased with the quality of the tailgate and the ease of installation! The Camera kit installation was a little confusing due to the low quality photos included in the instructions, but overall I am 100% satisfied.

Custom Flow 5th Wheel Tail Gate

Custom Flow® V-EL37 - Elite Series 5th Wheel Tailgate

I had this almost a year and it fit perfect with little to no adjustments. The quality if very high and durable. I usually remove it summer and winter to a regular tail gate and this is so nice, fits perfect and very durable ,not flimsey, that I have not taken it off all year. The lock works well took 5 minute to adjust it. The tailgate is a solid fit and not susceptable to bending or flexing. Worth every penny.

Great Product!

Custom Flow® - Elite Series 5th Wheel Tailgate Insert

I ordered this for my work truck because I haul things I don't want to slide out the 5th wheel tailgate. Worked perfectly, was easy to install (just 4 pins took 2 min), and actually made my tailgate look better! Thanks for a great product!

Worst Quality Tailgate

Custom Flow® - Elite Series 5th Wheel Tailgate

The quality of this tailgate is horrible! I thought I was getting a quality product, but instead I was highly unsatisfied with the fit and finish! Tin trash!

Perfect Solution

The product went on with no issues and looks great. Had to adjust some of the original adjuster, but that was quite easy to do with the instructions provided.
