Towing boat behind my 5th wheel

Hi guys... new to the forum, and new to 5th wheeling as well. I want to caravan a ski boat behind my newly acquired 2010 34ft Montana mountaineer. The boat with trailer weighs about 3200lbs. Would it simply be a matter of installing a suitable rear bumper/receiver? Best regards, Hal

I’ve never pulled anything behind. I do have a 12’ trailer I purchased to carry a Honda trike on. We have a 3761fl that has the hitch receiver already on trailer. The things I don’t know are the weight hitch is good for and total length allowed..any ideas?

Not sure on the weight and hitch specs. As far as length, tho, I believe most states have a limit of 65ft overall. It does vary throughout the US from 53 feet on up. I know from personal experience. Stopped, measured, warned, and was told that I could not proceed in the state of TX until I was under the total allowable length of 65'. I was at 67.6'. Escorted to a WalMart parking lot and had to make arrangements to have the additional trailer picked up seperately. The officer even made drive bys to make sure I was complying. I do not think this is something that is actively enforced or that Law Enforcement is even aware in most cases. Most have better things to do. IMHO. I have heard of it occuring a few times however.
