To tow your bass boat behind your 2017 Rockwood Ultra 33’ fifth wheel you are going to want the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13701. This hitch is universal and fits frames from 18"-51" wide. It is a bolt on class III hitch with a 5,000 lbs weight capacity and a 500 lbs maximum tongue weight.

If your frame is over 51" wide you can use the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # 13703 you were looking at. It attaches to 22" to 72" wide frames.

To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case.
