We here at etrailer do not recommend having the BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding - Aluminum # BAK26330 installed/open while towing a fifth-wheel trailer. This is because the trailer could impact the cover during short turns on your short bed 2022 Ford F-350 on sharp turns (which could damage the cover, the trailer, or the truck itself).

For a safer option, I recommend using a retractable cover like the RetraxPRO MX Hard Tonneau Cover # RT80383. Since the cover retracts into a space-saving canister, you do not need to worry about potential contact with the trailer during turns.
