You didn't mention what your tow vehicle is, but the 10K limit would indicate it's not a vehicle with a lot of towing capacity. Keep in mind that, while travel trailers put about 12% of the loaded weight/GVWR on the hitch, the average fifth wheel puts about 23% of the loaded weight/GVWR on the pin. Most single rear wheel trucks will max out on payload with a fifth wheel before they hit the max tow rating. If you're towing with a 1/2-ton, you may have an issue by the time you load yourselves, two teens, the dogs, and other stuff in the truck. The lightest fifth wheel hitches are about 50 lbs. (Andersen Ultimate) and conventional hitches start at 150 lbs. and go up. That has to be subtracted from your payload, too.
