How to Fit Reese M5 27K Fifth Wheel Hitch Under Truck Tonneau
Question:
Will this hitch fit under a tonnueau bed cover. I looks as though the handle would be to high to fit. Can the handle be turned over to make it lower?

I spoke to my contact at Reese and he informed me that the head of the Reese M5 Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30922 that you referenced will be 14 inches high in its lowest setting and 18 inches in the highest setting.
The handle will add an additional 4-5 inches to the setup, but an option that some people do is install the handle upside down that way it will not be too tall for your tonneau cover.
