To verify a fit of a trailer hitch receiver on your Highland Ridge fifth wheel trailer you need to measure the width of the trailer's frame. We have a number of universal RV hitches that may work for you depending on that distance, I've linked our selection for you.
The most popular of the list because it fits the largest range of traller frames is the Curt # 13703. It fits trailer frames from 22 to 72 inches wide. If it's a lot longer than what you need you can trim the main tube down to size once you know how long you need it to be.
Make sure the bike rack you're going to be using is rated for use on the back of a trailer. Most racks aren't able to handle th additional stressed they take on from the extra movement of a trailer. I've linked our selection of bike racks that can be used on a trailer for you as well.
