82911.....One thing you have going is that you have a relatively short coach on the that chassis. I had a 1990 Jamboree 27 Class C with a Ford 460 that was rated to tow 3500 pounds. I beefed up the rear frame and shocks and towed my 4800 pound boat for 14 years without an issue. I moved the boat back on the trailer and lightened the tongue weight.
Be careful how you load the toy hauler and you could probably do it without a W/D hitch. Get the tongue weight between 400-500 pounds. Using a little common sense and not towing above 65mph and you should be okay.
I'll bet there are some weld shops in Palmdale that will beef up your hitch and frame. I doubt you'll be able to find a heavier rated hitch. They typically don't make any that will fit your frame knowing that it will exceed your limits.
