While we do have a great e-bike rack that works perfect for you, the Yakima OnRamp # Y36FR is not compatible. This is because the construction of the OnRamp will not allow the rack to withstand the extra force and torque of a rack mounted on the rear of a fifth-wheel trailer.
For a great option for your Jayco trailer, I recommend going with the Hollywood Racks RV Rider - 2" # HLY64FR. The RV Rider has the same style of independently-adjusting cradles as the OnRamp that eliminate the need for a bike frame adapter bar if you have women's bikes, step-thru bikes, or children's bikes. It is also constructed for brute strength that can easily withstand the extra force on the end of a fifth-wheel trailer. Additionally, apart from its monstrous 80-pound per-bike weight capacity, the RV Rider's cradles can accommodate fat bike tires up to 5 inches wide, so there is no need to purchase additional cradles.
While the RV Rider does not have a ramp like the OnRamp, We do not carry another a bike rack with an implemented ramp that can be used on a fifth-wheel trailer.
If you need a compatible hitch on your trailer, I recommend the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703. This hitch comes with a weld-on or bolt-on installation and is compatible with trailer frames between 22-72 inches wide. In order to make sure this hitch works for you, I suggest measuring the width of your frame from left-to-right to make sure it fits within the required parameters.
