You are asking for 'real world weights' on that 5th wheel........which your Dad owns and twos with his F250
So take it to the scales and weigh it.....question answered.
I tow a 13,873# 5th wheel (actual scaled weight) and the pin is 3080#
Puts me right at trucks RAWR and under Rear Tire Max Load Ratings
Your 2016 2500 is similar in 'ratings' to my 2007 3500 SRW
Change those Rear Tires so tires are higher load rating then trucks Rear Axle.
And just go weigh your Dad RV to get the real world numbers
(You will be over trucks GVWR/Payload but that is NOT an issue.stay at/under RAWR/Rear Tire Load Ratings......go camping!)
