Will BAK Revolver Tonneau Cover Interfere with Towing 5th Wheel Trailer

Question:

Can I use a BAK revolver x2 hard roll up tonnneau on a 61/2’ box pulling a 5th wheel trailer. When it is rolled up is there any clearance problems?

When a BAK Revolver like the part # BAK39331 is rolled up it's diameter is 8 inches. So it would add 8 inches to the height of your truck bed at the very front of your truck bed where it would then be 8 inches wide.

The width of your trailer nose and how much clearance you have between the truck bed rails and trailer overhang will affect whether this will be an issue. If you have well over 8 inches of vertical clearance there and have a tapered nose I don't see how it would be a problem. But if clearance is tight as-is then I could see it preventing you from making a tight turn.
