5th wheel options for TV
Chevy Silverado 2500HD, 6.0L. 9900 lb tow max, 2700 lb capacity. Don't know about hitch. I am guessing max dry should be no more than 8000 lbs & GVWR 10,000 lbs. truck weighs about 6000 lbs I thin...

As NC Hauler suggested, the best thing to do is spend $10 and get weighed. You can then use a calculator such as this for finding what is left over and getting a feel for how much fifth wheel or TT you can tow:

Without weighing, you can estimate your weights and work backwards from you "tire and loading information sticker" on your doorjamb by using this calculator:

For estimating PIN weights to stay within your ratings, you can usually use the percentage of pin weight for the dry weights and then apply that either to an estimate for your actual loaded weight or to the camper's GVWR. And, of course- I've got a handy estimator for that too. :):

Once you know some weights, you can narrow in on campers that fall in those ranges.
