Fifth wheel shopping question, rear tow hitch

I'm starting to research fifth wheel trailers in search of our first camper. I have a 2016 dually for a tow vehicle, so size isn't a big deal. It's only me, my wife and 2 dogs.

My big question is about towing behind the fifth wheel. I have a 17.5' alum bass boat I'd like to tow behind the camper. So far the only camper I have seen with a true hitch on the back is the Jayco HT series. It has a 3000 lb hitch and not just a bike rack receiver. Are there any other trailers with a true hitch? The salesman said adding a hitch to a trailer will likely void your warranty. We like the Jayco HT trailers, but still want to shop around. I don't want to limit us to a trailer that is attempting to be "half ton towable" just because it comes with a hitch. In my searching, they don't seem to talk about this much. Even the Jayco HT barely mentions the feature of the hitch.

Thanks

There are several companies that offer a rear 3k hitch as either standard or an option. One of the advantages to buying a used rig is that you don't have to worry about warranty issues if you =do= add a hitch. Also, if you find something you like that offers an optional hitch, but it's not installed, you know that the mfr shouldn't void the warranty if you add a hitch. Keep searching!
