I've seen a couple different bumper mounts with swivel wheels.

I've seen this as custom work so that a fixed extension could be used with one or two swivel wheels so that the load turned with the trailer and didn't create another swivel point to worry about. Doing it this way enables easier backing since the load swivels with the trailer. Another time I saw this was to attach a platform to carry things (no swivel wheels), but the load was lighter.
In both cases turns and tail swing can be a concern since there is added length past the rear trailer axles. I experienced a tail swing problem once and I am reluctant to add any rear length, but others have done just fine.

I believe there are several manufacturers of such trailers. Here is a link to one that makes both single wheel and dual wheel trailers.
I assume this is what you are talking about.

You did not tell us what year/Montana model you have. If I was in your situation, I'd call Keystone and see if your Montana is capable of having something hanging on the back end. I was told not to do it...2007 3400RL.
