It is done... i just need to do some touch up paint and few other misc.

Yes when we sleep, the tail gate goes up. It is a 3 door type of opening. People can not lock us in when we are sleeping. When we get out, we can get out with or without tailgate being down. However, it sould be easier with tailgate down.
