For your 2015 Keystone Cougar fifth wheel hitch I recommend checking out the Curt # 13703 trailer hitch which will work with the I-beam frame on your Keystone Cougar though you will need to take a measurement to ensure it is between 22" and 72".

This hitch has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity so your accessories would not be able to weigh more than that; additionally, please note that with this hitch, it is recommended by Curt that all non-trailer loads such as bike racks and cargo carriers be supported with Stabilizing Straps # 18050.

Also, all bike racks or cargo carriers you use will need to be approved for use behind a fifth wheel trailer or you run the risk of the rack and bikes being seriously damaged. I recommend checking out the Swagman Trailhead # S63381.
