Komfort 23ft. 5th Wheel trailier towing harness

Hello! I just joined this forum. On a 2004 23ft. Komfort 5th wheel, I have a factory installed tow hitch. Before I start opening the rear protective cover, did these units come with a pre-installed wire bundle to install a wire connector harness for towing a trailer behind the unit? I want to tow my fishing boat trailer but I do not see any visible access or any wire bundles. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

    A number of fifth wheels come with 2" receivers on the back, but no wiring harness. That's because the receivers are intended for bike racks, etc., and not for towing. Does the receiver have a label on it stating max towing capacity and max tongue weight? If not, I'll be it's not for towing.

    Are you sure yours is a factory installed receiver? My FW receiver came factory installed, and included visible 4-wire connector for trailer.
