Hidden Gooseneck to new 5th wheel problems
We have just purchased a Sprinter 269FWRLS Copper Canyon. Our tow vehicle is a 2011 Chevy 3500HD 4x4 Ext. Cab 8 foot bed. We have a B&W Hidden Turnoverball. The bed of the pickup also has a fuel tank ...

I think putting some measurements on this site will help you all better understand the issues. We only have 12 1/4" from front fuel tank to the B&W Hidden Gooseneck ball center. Front Toolbox is 48" tall sits on/above bed rails. From ball to tailgate is 48". Still looking for suggestions, but at this point we just want to get 5vr picked up. So until someone out there has a suggestion we are taking everything out of bed, and we will just have to put it back in. Thanks for your help.
With the long bed you have roughly 60 inches from the cab to the rear axle which is also the hitch center line. So, if you have about 12 inches left, that means your tool box and fuel tank are roughly 48 inches wide total. And the tool box is 48 inches tall??? Which puts it about 26 inches taller than the truck bed rails. Is that correct?? If so, how do you see out the back window to hitch up??? Anything taller than the bed rails that is closer than 48 inches from the ball center is a problem. Pics and/or more measurements are really needed for any useful assistance.
