I don't think the Silverado will have any problems towing the Jayco or Keystone. The newer 6 speed Silverados are much more capable of towing 5k lbs than the 4 speeds they replaced. My old 2007 1500 (4 speed) would pull our Jayco fine of flat, open road but sucked in moderate inclines. I second donn0128 recommendation for a 2500 Suburban with the 6.0 but make sure it's the 6 speed version. The 2500 will have a stiffer frame, heavier brakes and firmer suspension that will make your towing experience more comforting than a 1500 Burb.
