Newer trucks like your 2015 Ford F-350 have tall bed sides and 5th wheel hitches are usually height adjustable at the head (though on a slider hitch you won't be able to use the lowest setting). Based on this I am confident that you will be able to use the BAKFlip F1 tonneau cover # BAK72310. I only sticks down in the bed a couple of inches and only in a couple of places (where the panels meet).

The issue could be that you will need to remove the cover when towing the 5th wheel trailer since the panels will only fold up as much as the front most panel is wide. It will also be taller when folded up at the front so it is possible that, when turning, the 5th wheel trailer overhang could make contact with the cover.

These are the issues you will run into with any hard cover. It would be best just to remove the cover when towing.
