Can 5th Wheel Trailer be Towed with BAKFlip Tonneau Cover Folded Flat on 2020 Ford F-350
Question:
I would be putting this on a 2018 F350 long bed dually. I have a Reese 27k hitch in the factory puck system. My question is will I be able to tow my fifth wheel trailer with all sections folded flat behind the cab to allow for visibility?

We have a solution for you but the problem that you would run into with a folding cover such as # BAK72331 is if you leave it on but folded up flat it will be several inches above the truck bed sides. This means that when making tight turns the trailer's pin box could make contact with the cover. The pin box will likely be fine but if that happens it will damage the cover and possibly your 2018 Ford F-350. For this cover the best thing would be to remove it from its installed position and, if there is space, lay it down in the truck bed.
The best option would be to use the Pace Edwards SwitchBlade, # 311-SWFA19A45, or a similar retractable cover. That way you still get a hard cover for security and you won't have to worry about interference with the pin box or a folded up cover.
