I will need a 5th wheel hitch.
I will be staying within the length limits.

The trailer will weigh 10klbs and the boat weighs 2200lbs. I want to get a hitch that has room to grow in case we go bigger in the future.
So what do the 5th wheel gurus recommend as far as weight capability on the hitch?
18k?
24k?

My TV is a 2019 F250 CCSB.

Thanks for your help.

So, I claim your bigger obstacle will be to buy a 5th wheel trailer that can be modified to double tow. Many of the manufacturers specifically warn against it, I assume for liability reasons, but there are enough reported frame issues without towing, that I'd be a bit leary. I know that I have seen a lot of the "full timer" rigs, that are a bit beefier in all regards are up to the task of towing, but lesser expensive models may not have the frame structure to do it safely.
