Hey Charles. It is possible to triple tow, 1 tow vehicle + 2 trailers, when both trailer's have brakes. However, this would mean that the brake output wire that runs from the brake controller in your truck and to both trailers would need to be at least 6 gauge so you don't have issues with voltage drop.
Additionally, the number of braked axles cannot exceed what your brake controller is capable of handing. The 7-way will splice in behind the tail lights on your 5th wheel trailer.
To tow a trailer behind your Arctic Fox 275 you will need the following parts:
Universal Hitch - Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs item # 13703
Wiring Harness - Pollak 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket w/ Wiring Harness and Mounting Bracket item # PK11898
Ball Mount - etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued 2" Ball item # e67DR
What kind of brake controller are you using?

I have used the adjustable hitch on 2 different trailers. https://www.etrailer.com/RV-and-Camper-Hitch/CURT/13703.html. It worked, but I did modify it so it would not hang down so far and was tucked up allowing more ground clearance. I pull a 6.5 x12 utility trailer with four dirt bikes and a four wheeler on it. It has no trailer brakes. I have pulled it from near Yellowstone to Zion national parks several times. This is my experience with it I know Etrailer would suggest you not follow what I do with them but if you can weld it's easy to use this and make it your own for your trailer. I do have a flat 4 wire connector that I wired from the front of the camper and ran the wires to the back.
