I have a possible solution, but we don't carry Pull Rite hitches. I can't imagine you would be able to tow a fifth wheel trailer with the Du Ha truck bed storage box without pin box or hitch interference unless you went with a Sidewinder pin box replacement as that moves the pivot point up higher.

You will need to remove the pin box of the trailer and replace it with a Sidewinder pin box. Sidewinders are pin box specific so you will first need to know what pin box you have now in order to pick out the correct one.

There should be a sticker or a stamping on the OEM pin box of the trailer that will list the pin box number that is on the trailer.

Once you figure out which pin box you have you can check the FAQ I attached that has a chart that shows the correct Sidewinder to get based on which pin box you have.

You would then need to go with a stationary hitch like the Reese M5 part # RP30928 with the Sidewinder as well as the Wedge Kit # RP44FR to prevent the king pin of the sidewinder from pivoting in the jaws of the hitch. .
