I don't think you are listening! Plain and simple your 17K 5thwheel will easily have 4,250# pin weight if you are full timing as you say you will be. Now lets add you and your family, fuel, hitch and toolbox. Now tell me you can tow a 17K 5er with a 3500 SRW RAM or another SRW truck out there without being over your rear axle rating..
The 17K number can bet obtained with a gooseneck trailer that has a MUCH lower pin.
Plain and simple you need a Dually.
Here is a chart.
