Hello Pat,
Getting quite the train going. Just be careful with the states you are traveling through, some of them do not consider this legal.
You are going to need an adjustable hitch for the back of your 5th wheel. We have the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13703 which will fit a frame from 22" to 72" (it is listed as an RV fit, but works on 5th wheels as well. The # 13703 has a tongue weight rating of 350 pounds, and a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.
We also have the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" # C13701. This hitch will work on frames 18"-51", and has a little higher of a weight rating at 500 pounds tongue weight, and 5,000 pound towing capacity,
You will need to look at your frame and measure to figure out what is the best fit. Both options can be a bolt on, or weld on application.
What kind of boat are you going to be towing?
