Good news! I can help you outfit your I-Beam 5th Wheel Trailer with a Class III trailer hitch.

The Curt # 13703 bolt-on adjustable width trailer hitch will accommodate your 72 inch I-Beam frame. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver and a tongue weight of 350lbs.

Another option is the weld-on Ultra-Fab trailer hitch # UF35-946403. This will need to be installed by a qualified welder to carry the 350lb tongue weight capacity.

A great 2-bike rack for the back of your RV is the Swagman # S44FR. This platform style rack will be easier to load than the traditional hanging rack and includes a hitch lock and cable for added security. It's important to note that there are certain bike racks approved to be towed behind an RV where there is more force exerted, so they are specially designed to withstand this type of travelling, I have linked them to this page for you to check out.

I have linked the products and an installation video of the Curt hitch to this page for your convenience.
