I've had three 5th wheel trailers and I had a custom fabricated receiver hitch welded to the trailers main frame rails and cross members.

Besides the obvious "a good one" ( my first was a 2 inch hitch that bolted to the frame, the second was factory built to the frame)

Check the law in -each- state. Some states only allow boats or water-craft for the 2nd trailer, many states simply don't allow it.

When someone tells you to buy the same rig they own, listen, they might be right. When they tell you to buy a different rig then they own, really pay attention, they probably know something you don't.

Make sure it is legal in the states you want to go through.

I wouldn't pull any trailer of any size behind my 5th wheel without a good, welded on 2" receiver hitch. For your safety, as well as everyone else on the road with you, don't fall for the bolt onto your bumper type of hitch. It's cheap, and it's useless, and it's a hazard to everyone.
