I'm getting a new Lance 855s in May(it's on order) and after digging through a bunch of threads on the Lance Forum I can leave my Tailgate on and it will clear. I did have to put a plywood layer under the rubber matt to raise the camper to clear the angle of the tailgate. I didn't want to have to take the thing off as I did that with my old TC and Tundra and it sucked, plus these now have more weight and plugs for camera's and power. One other thing I read was that when you unplug the rear tailgate camera it affects some of the camera veiws. Anyway you might want to check the TC forum for your model to see if you have options.

I have the same truck and camper Lance 855s. It has been a complete nightmare, when leaving tailgate on you can’t quite get back far enough and the tailgate support cables hit the camper. Also have my camper on thick stall mat. I have about a 5” gap between the front of my bed and the front of the camper. I don’t like the way it fits for sure. Anyone have any other solutions or ideas?
Thanks,
