Expert Reply:
If you have a 2015 Ford F-250 with a B and W Turnoverball hitch part # BWGNRK1111-5W installed all you need is the Slider Companion Hitch part # BWRVK3400-5W which will give you the turning clearance you need and will easily fit the gooseneck hitch you have.
Without a slider (since your truck bed is short) you wouldn't be able to make tight turns without the cab of the truck wanting to come in to contact with the trailer. The slider allows the hitch the needed clearance.
Your bed length would not be an issue at all.
