Does Your Bed Cover Go Over Your 5th Wheel Hitch

Hope everyone is well. Question I have is do you have a bed cover, ( roll up like a Retrax Pro ) that " clears " your fifth wheel hitch as it's closed.

If so what type cover and hitch and truck do you have.

Thanks so much

Pace-Edwards Jackrabbit retractable tonno.

The tonno closes with about one inch to spare above the hitch.
One feature I like is the ability to close the tonno part way (3' covered, 5' open) when towing. That keeps things in the forward part of the truck bed dry and in shade.

On our previous truck we had a BAKFlip hard folding cover that cleared our hitch. We were using an Andersen Ultimate at the time, but the ball height was the same as the plate on a conventional hitch. We don't use a Tonneau cover on our current truck.

Friend has a retrax and it works fine with his hitch.

I would think most would, since I assume most hitches are below the bed line.

Used Fold A Cover since 2005 to cover my hitch on two different trucks. Never a problem.
