Expert Reply:

For your 2016 Keystone Montana 3721 5th Wheel Trailer, I recommend the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch item # C13704. This is a class III hitch that fits trailers with frames between 22" to 66" wide. It will work on box frames, C-channel frames, or I-beam frames. This hitch can be installed with included hardware or welded to your trailer's frame.

It will provide plenty of capacity with a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 500 lbs maximum tongue weight. I do recommend checking with the manufacturer to see if your 5th wheel is rated to tow a trailer and what its capacity is.

For a wiring harness to power the second trailer's lights you will want the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C58044, which will connect to the tail light and turn signal circuits on your 5th wheel trailer and provide you with a 4-Way harness.

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.
