We just picked up our Winnebago Winnie 2201DS that has about the same specs...5,000 lbs. dry weight, 7625 GVWR and is 26'9" overall length. I pull it with a 5.7 Tundra. I had a 4 pt. Equalizer hitch installed, and it seems to be very good, but I've only towed the unit the 100 mile ride home and I haven't had it in any strong winds as of yet. And, we had transferred our gear from our trailer we traded in, so it was a "loaded" trailer. If you search the forum, you'll see that the Equalizer and the Reese dual cam are two very popular hitched because they perform very well.
The Tundra handled the weight very well and I could really tell the difference of towing the Winnie versus the trailer I turned in that weighed around 8,000 lbs. loaded, and I also had the weight of a Hensley hitch (really great hitch, but heavy!).
