It certainly is possible to pull and turn a fifth wheel with a transfer tank in the bed of your truck. The main concern is clearance on sharp turns. I do not know the width of your toolbox/fuel tank combo so you will have to do some measuring to know with certainty that they will fit together. I recommend placing your 5th wheel hitch in the bed of your truck and measuring from the cab side of your hitch to the cab of your truck to ensure you have enough clearance for your tank. Generally with long bed trucks you will have room to work with.

You will also want to be sure that your truck can handle the weight of your fifth wheel plus the added weight from the fuel tank. You may want to consider adding an air bag kit or jounce spring to help support the rear suspension if the rear end begins to sag from the added weight.
