I had the same type of problem with the F550 I bought. It had a 9ft long 8 ft wide flat bed made by Knapheid. I ended up cutting 10 inches off the back of the bed and cutting the corners back 12 inches at a 45 degree angle. I have a turnover ball hitch with a B&W companion 5th wheel in it. The turnover ball receiver is mounted about 1 inch forward of the axle center line. I could not turn with out the corner of the bed getting into the front of the camper. It really didnt take much to cut down the bed and miter the corners off about 10 ft of 3x6 steel tube.
