Since hitch adapters cut the capacity of the hitches, they are installed in due to added length and leverage they are not recommended to be used with a bike rack like the part # S94FR. You would need a 2" hitch installed on your fifth wheel. Then you would have a selection of bike racks for your Montana. We would need the model number of your Montana to make a solid recommendation for you.
