I have a Bakflip HD in a four panel model for our long bed. I fold it back to the last panel and secure it with a couple of bungee cords and have not had any problems towing our fifth wheel. The only issue is it does block the view of the hitch so I have to do it blind. I did put a piece of red tape on the center of the folded panel which I use to line up with the pin. Has not been a problem.

I have one other question...how wide are the rails? How far do they intrude into the truck bed??

The rails sit 1 1/2 inches inside the bed. It has never created a problem for us in the year we have had the truck and the Bakflip. We put about 8k miles on our truck towing the fifth wheel last year. I build furniture frames for my son-in-law's business on occasion and have stuffed bed full without hurting the rails. They seem to be pretty tough. I do like the fact the cover can be folded up against the back window so I can haul bigger stuff.
