My current travel trailer came factory equipped with a hitch and it is framed using the trailer frame and the sewer bumper. It looks pretty strong, and I use it for carrying a cargo cage. However, there is a label on the hitch that has a weight limit warning. I don't think I'd ever want to tow anything with it, even a small utility trailer, even though it looks like it's well done. Look can be deceiving. If it were not for the weight limit label, I would have never known.
As stated above, you are best to check with your camper's manufacturer (or even your local dealer may be able to help you). Even welding a hitch to your camper's existing frame might be detrimental to the integrity of the camper.
FYI, Indiana allows double tow also. In fact, Indiana allows double towing behind a "bumper pull" trailer too. I see it all the time in Southern Indiana where there are more lakes and recreation areas.
