The BAKFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover # BAK48330 for the 2022 F-250 short bed has 4 panels. While you are using your Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550024 you will be able to keep one panel laying flat on the bed. There are tow ways you can store the cover while towing and you can see examples of each below.
