Rolling bed cover & 5'th wheel

I'm thinking of installing a Roll n Lock cover on a short box. I want the cover partially closed when I'm pulling my 5'th. On the short box, does it stop at 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 positions, or at the 1/3 & 2/3 positions only? Can I have it closed part way in front of my hitch when I'm pulling the fifth wheel?

Roll n Lock

The box takes up about 10 inches at the front of the bed. The first stop is 29 inches from the back of the cab which is just in front of my 5er hitch. I think the pinbox might not clear in tight turns in that position. The second stop is at 44 inches back of the cab and the third stop is 59 inches back of the cab and that leaves a 15 inch opening in front of your tail gate. There are only three stops but they are not exactly 1/3 of the bed. The 29 inch stop would probably be ok just driving the highway but manuvering might create some problems if it was left at the 29 inch stop.

My retrax cover can be closed any position. I have owned it for about two years.
