Your rig will blow up! Just kidding. :D It should work perfectly fine. I used the 10k/1k Equal-i-zer on a 4000 lb TT; the mfr advised that it would not be a problem.
I imagine you'll want to weigh your hitch once you are loaded up, to make sure you have at least 10% of the trailer's weight on the hitch. Not hard to do if the fresh water tank is located up front. Actually, though, I just checked the specs on a 2016 25R and dry wt was listed at 6045 lbs... that number makes more sense to me.
