The BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK48204 is approximately 3" thick when folded onto the front panel up at the cab of the truck. The panels are 1/2" thick but they don't fold perfectly flat and there is some other material in there as well. If you count where the latches sit it is closer to 4-1/2". Will that work for you?

Hey, did the 4-1/2 inch folded thickness of the BAKFlip MX4 work with your truck camper setup on the Ram 3500? It would be great to know if you were able to keep the cover on while the camper was loaded. Your update could make it easier for others planning a similar setup.
