The invention is a pick-up truck bed cover for a fifth-wheel hitch. The cover is one-piece and is sized to fit over the front and side rails of the pick-up bed. The invented cover has a unitary top surface, which may be divided into several sections, or areas. One such area is a central recessed, but closed, channel extending forwardly from the back of the cover. This channel is for allowing the trailer hitch tongue to enter during coupling or uncoupling of the trailer. At the front end of the channel is a semi-circular or U-shaped area with an opening for receiving the trailer hitch tongue during towing use of the truck. The opening is located so that it is over the fifth-wheel connecting hitch installed in the bottom of the truck bed over the back axle. Preferably, the opening is covered by a tarp boot which is fastened around the outer edge of a raised flange that surrounds the opening. The tarp boot is constructed so that it extends from the raised flange up and around the goose neck of the trailer during towing use of the truck. When not towing, the tarp boot is folded down and fastened so that it keeps the weather out of the opening, and does not flap in the wind. The semi-circular or U-shaped area is partially surrounded by a central raised area that is lower than the side edges of the cover. This way, the cover, preferably made of plastic or fiberglass material, may be made in one, unitary piece.
