Question:
I have a 2024 Ram 3500 with an 8 ft bed and a 5th wheel hitch. It has a bed view camera which I use to help connect my 5th wheel trailer. Will the BakFlip MX4 when folded up at the back of the cab window still allow the camera to view my 5th wheel hitch in the bed? In other words, will the bed view camera be blocked when the cover is folded up next to the cab window?

Expert Reply:
Hey Wes, with the BakFlip part # BAK48204 installed and folded all the way up against the back of the truck cab the camera would end up getting blocked. A much better option would be a retracting tonneau cover like the Retrax part # RT80233 which for sure won't block the camera at all.

Hey Wes, how did things turn out with the RetraxPRO MX cover on your Ram 3500? Did the bed camera give you a clear view of your 5th wheel hitch? Your update could make it easier for others setting up a similar truck and trailer combo.
