I did use a tri-fold when we had a short box TV. It worked well but found that the triple height + latch would sometimes be to close to the 5er when doing a sharp turn.
Our new combo includes an 8ft box TV.
We purchased a Roll-N-Lock tonneau cover which adds no height to the TV side rails and rolls neatly through a spring loaded system in a box behind the cab. It also has adjustable roll points stops which allows it to lock just behind the 5th wheel when towing.
We also added its matching Cargo Management system, this is a gate that can be adjusted at any point on the rails.
So... with the cover is locked just behind the 5th wheel and the Cargo Mngt system locked at the same point it creates a safe area to hold coolers, generator etc.
I will be covering the gate with a prefab tarp (boat canopy dealer) which will keep some of the road dust and water (but not water tight) from entering the enclosed cargo area. Works for us . www.rolnlock.com
PS: Some have found that the 5th wheel handle extends up higher than the TV side rails which makes having a tonneau cover a challenge. They sometimes have to flip the handle in a downwards position to be able to use a cover. GPG
