20-30mph crosswinds are no fun. We've done it in both bumper pull and 5er.
Have you taken the trailer to the weigh station to find out the real weights? If you've tried multiple hitches with no luck, good chance it's a weight issue.
What's the payload of the truck? It's fun to say you will travel light but realistically if the trailer is 10,000lb GVWR, you are probably going to be up around 2000lb pin weight. By the time you add passenger, hitch and other stuff in the truck, not many 1/2 ton trucks will have sufficient payload.
