Good Morning, First off let me clarify by stating i am not looking for anyone to tell me what to do or what not to do. I know this will be a touchy subject with risks but its an honest question.......

Since yours is a 18,000 lb GVWR model it won't do all of that but there is definitely some overage designed in. If you're going to do this, I would go to a truck shop and have a 7500 lb hitch installed.
Thanks for all the info. Again, I wasnt asking for anyone's "blessing" the question was about stress on the frame.
I did hear back from fleetwood and I got an off the record response of.. keep the GVWR low and keep both below GCVWR, beef up the hitch and go for it.
And the question regarding the curb weight.... That was my mistake. That was the curb weight of the F53 chassis prior to fleetwood assembly.
