I need a large 5th wheel but am I looking too large?

Hello, I am new to this community so first I want to thank you guys for using the years of experience you have to help newbies like me out. Anyway, I am planning to go full time RV with my family....

There are no light models in these beasts. You’ll be north of 5000lb pin weight with an empty trailer and probably up around 7000lbs loaded if you go with a 50 footer. When you figure in 4 people and a hitch in the truck, that’s out of pickup territory, so you’ll be driving what is basically a small semi tractor.
