Retractable Tonneau Cover Fitment on 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty for 5th Wheel Towing

Question

Question:

I am looking for a retractable bed cover for a 2022 F350 DRW that will work with a fifth wheel hitch. The hitch is the BandW 20K for the factory puck system. My Fifth Wheel is a 2021 Sprinter 3620 LBH with the factory installed RotaFlex pin box. I do have future plans of upgrading to a TrailAir pin box. I think I would be ok with this cover combined with the RotaFlex just not sure if the future TrailAir would work. Do you have any thoughts or other suggestions on this?
