Tonneau Bakflip F1 vs Undercover Flex
I have been doing some reading, for sure I want a tri-fold hard panel tonneau cover for my GMC. I have read many reviews, I like the design of the undercover Flex, but I read more positive feedback o...

I have the Bakflip Fibermax on a 2500 Ram Cummins truck with the 6'4" bed and like it a lot. We have a TT a little over 28', and at the time I bought the bed cover, did not have plans to switch to a 5th Wheel. But plans always change, and now we do plan to get a 5th wheel.
The Bakflip has 4 sections, so one can fold back the first three sections flat onto the last section, and there are loops to bungee them down in that almost 3/4 open bed position. I don't yet know if there will be enough clearance to tow a fifth wheel with the bed cover in that position, but I believe that there probably will be. And I think maybe I have read of others towing fifth wheels with a standard bed truck with the Bakflip cover in that position. I prefer the 4 section bed covers to the 3 section ones, more versatile I believe.
So far I haven't really noticed any water leaks, though with any bed cover other than the fiberglass type that cover over the bed rails, it is possible to get a slight bit of water inside the bed. The Bakflip has drain tubes to channel water from the bed cover side rails through the bed and out.
Good luck!
