I have to start by saying you need to contact Flagstaff to ensure your camper has the structural integrity to tow, as it's frame may not. State laws are also going to need to be examined in regards to double towing and the total length you are allowed to tow.

If everything checks out, the trailer hitch options are going to depend on the frame or bumper of your camper. If your camper has a C-Channel frame, or I-Beam frame and it is 18"to 51" wide you can use the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701. If it is 22" to 66' wide you can use Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13704.

The only bumper-mounted hitch that will allow you to tow is the Buyers Products RV Universal Receiver Hitch # 3371804060 which fits 4" x 4" fully welded square bumpers and has a 3,500 lb towing capacity and 350 lb tongue weight capacity, although it is virtually certain your camper's bumper will not have those capacities which is why it is very important you check with Flagstaff.

I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well.
