Thinking about moving over to a 5th wheel

I currently have toyhauler but I have a boat and would love to be able to tow the boat also therefore the need for a 5th wheel. My quad is...Can all 5th wheels have a receiver hitch on the back for towing or only certain ones? If only certain ones then how do I know if I can add a hitch to one when I look at it?

Thanks

Not all 5th wheel frames are capable for receiver/hitch

Check with RV MFG if or not recommended (if offered as an 'OPTION')
Is it time for your medication or mine?

In my experience, I had to have a receiver hitch welded to the frame of my 5th. wheel. I would not use a receiver hitch attached to any kind of bumper on your 5th wheel. Not safe!!
