Can I Add a Trailer Hitch to Tow a Utility Trailer With My Keystone Cougar Fifth Wheel
Question:
I have a 2007 cougar 289BHS, I want to be able to tow a utility trailer with it. It has a rear bumper that slides out for extra storage/bicycle rack. Is there anyway possible that this can be done??

Since hitches for trailers are not custom fit you can simply filter through the linked page that has our selection of trailer hitches on it. You will just need to make sure that the fit specs for the hitch match up with that of your 2007 Keystone RV Cougar 289BHS.
One of the most popular options is the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701 which is a Class III receiver that has a 2" receiver opening. This trailer hitch is compatible with trailers that has a frame width range of 18" - 51" and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. You will want to check the owner's manual for your Cougar as well to make sure that you do not exceed it's weight capacity, especially since you have the sliding bumper with the extra storage area.
Please note that some states prohibit towing a trailer behind a trailer. You will want to check your local laws as well as the laws of any states you will be traveling through to ensure that you are safely towing according to the laws of the state. We do not recommend double towing but we do realize that some states permit it.
