I am looking to put a hitch on my 5er also but it is only to carry a generator. So far one person has suggested checking with the RV dealers. Finding one can be difficult due to the design of the frame on your trailer. My frame is I beam and about 70 inches center to center. The widest RV hitch I can find is like 51 inches and that is adjustable for motorhomes.

As stated there is no backing up and you may have legal issues in another state. I say may as I really don't know but in some states it is legal and in others it isn't. Some states do allow it if you have a "dolly" to support the tongue of the trailer.
