I do have a solution for you but our contacts over at Pro Series have recently told us that the cargo carriers they manufacture, including # 63153, are not rated for use behind a 5th wheel trailer.
Curt has carriers that can be used on the back of a RV like the # C18152.
There is much more movement at the back of your 5th wheel trailer than on a vehicle so you will want to make the carrier as stable as possible using the built-in anti-rattle device. I also strongly recommend using straps like # EM31352 to attach from the back of the trailer to the carrier for even more support.

Can I attach this carrier to the back of my truck while towing my 5th wheel? It seems like there is room.

Good idea. I have a 2008 F250. I have considered a front receiver hitch. A mechanic friend of mine cautioned about unintentionally restricting Air flow to the radiator during tough uphill towing conditions. I intend to only use this for e bikes. I haven't found a receiver yet that would work on this truck. What do you think?
