You're on the right track, I think.
Don't forget to also consider axle weights. With the long rear overhang, the tongue weight will also cause some weight shift from the front axle to the rear axle of the motorhome. If you're near the limit for the rear axle that could be a problem. It would depend on the specifics of the unit.
Like the others, I would try to find a newer unit that has a 7500 pound rated hitch from the factory if possible.
