Using a tonneau cover

[Mickey_G]

I have a chane to pick up a Tonno-Pro Tri Fold Tonneau Cover.
Will the tonneau cover fold up enough to use the 5th wheel hitch, or should I get a Tonno-Pro Lo-Roll Cover.
I just never had good luck in the winter months with a cover you rolled up.
I always had to bring it into the house to warm it up where it would streatch enough to catch all snaps.

My folding tonneau has four sections. Long bed.

I have the TonnoPro tri fold on it's 3rd truck with no issues. Sometimes I wish the front section would fold up behind the rear window for access, most times I'm happy with the way it is. Gray tote and firewood ride under the front section and arrive dry even in hard rain.
Unless you don't have enough bed clearance to begin with the cover will not interfere with anything.
It's been on a 99 Chevy, a second gen Ram, and a third gen ram over a 6 year period. The vinyl has held up very well. I have had to use dots of weather strip adhesive here and there on the seals where they fit against the metal edges of the cover.
I'm very satisfied with the product and would buy another.

This cover cost less than $300, allows me full access to my below rail tool box at the front of the bed.

I have one like yours that I took to a local upholstery shop and had them gut the area over my hitch plate and install a zipper on 3 sides so I can run with the cover on and still use the hitch. Unlike you, I added bows as well so the water don't pool.

The TruXsport has bars and sheds water no pooling, the opening for the use while towing sounds interesting.

What kind of issues have you had?
Will the 5th wheel clear the tonneau cover?

Have a tri-fold on mine, Trifecta, no problem with hitch.

I have a trifold on mine and it works well.

I have used a Fold A Cover on two different trucks since 2004 with no problems. Love the ability to lock the bed.

I have a fold up on my long bed and it works fine
