If you have a 4-inch steel square bumper, is the Ultra-Fab trailer hitch # UF35-946402 because it clamps around your RV's 4 inch bumper. It's great for light duty towing and will have a maximum gross trailer weight of 3,500 pounds. I recommend contacting your trailer manufacturer to see if your bumper is rated for towing.
If you don't have a bumper, no worries because you can still add a trailer hitch to your frame. The most popular one we currently offer is the Curt adjustable width trailer hitch # 13703. It will fit frames between 22-72 inches wide. The gross towing capacity is 3,500 pounds and tongue weight is 350 pounds.
Keep in mind, towing a trailer behind another trailer is not legal in all states. Be sure to check the laws where you will be towing.
For your second trailer, you will want to splice in a 4-pole # 18172 connector.
A bike rack to consider, if you have a ladder on your fifth wheel, is the Surco bike rack # SP501BR. It can hold two bikes up to 75 pounds and the pivoting design allows you to use your ladder when bikes are not mounted.
I included a few video reviews and informative article for you too.
