Proper TV not a problem! 28K+ combined 9.5 hand calc West Coast average. Dry weight means nothing. Look at combined weight rating then take up to 25% of that to calculate your pin weight. Mine is 4,500#.
You might want o explain what you are taking 25% of to get your weight.
For a typical larger 5th wheel trailer, your loaded pin weight will run around 20% up to maybe 25% of the TRAILERS GVWR...not a combined weight.
25% of your listed combined of 28,000# is 7000#.
