Expert Reply:
With a 5th wheel trailer hitch installed in the bed of your truck, it would need to be removed in order to install a slide in camper. You would most likely have to remove the above the bed rails that hold the 5th wheel hitch also.
If you are new to 5th wheel towing, and the 2008 Nissan Titan has a 6-1/2 foot bed, I recommend going with Installation Kit # RP30035-405, and Reese Hitch, # RP30075. This set up would save you a little money over a Valley install kit and hitch.
I have included a link to the installation details for the Reese installation kit. I have also linked an FAQ article on 5th wheels and 5th wheel installation for you.
