Can we go back to the op's question where the specs are given as a 22000 lb GVWR and a GCVWR of 26000 lbs with a 4500# toad? 22000 + 4500 = 26500 lbs which puts it over 26000 lbs. There is a good chance the hitch is only rated at 3500#. Be sure you check this ! Will you have enough engine? yes.
If I liked the floorplan, I would go for it and buy a smaller toad, and go have fun.

I owned a 2000 Hurricane 29D. I don't remember passing any DPs (never drove in the Rockies with it), but I do remember the 6,000RPM screaming V-10 climbing the hills in the Ozarks. I never towed with it either.
Again, We have 2013 Allegro 36LA. Actual length is 36' 11". We tow about 4400. It is V10, 5 Star Tune, 24K Chassis, 5 speed with Tow/Haul.
We have passed many DP and on extreme grades been passed by some.

There you go, your engine was older than mine, and I bet you did not have a 5 Star tuning done to it, and I also bet that your son (if you have one) is a master mechanic with Ford, who keeps my engine in its top performance condition (and now he is thinking about to turbo charge it)
I do have a son but he is just "Shade Tree" mechanic certified. He has built a few Chevy 350's.
Other than my wife's Acura MDX, I had not driven a gas burner since 1999. Only driven Cummins diesel equipped pickups (owned 6 of them).
When I bought the 2000 Hurricane in 2013, at first I was frightened by the RPMs and the engine noise. Finally came to the realization that the V-10 was doing it's best and just let it scream! With the wind direction right and keeping the speed under 65 mph, on several trips to Florida, it would get 10-11 mpg. The V-10 did move that MH off the line much better than my DP.

The rev limiter is less than 6k on the 6.8. Just a wee bit of hype there.

I am just back form a long trip through the Rockies and Cascade Mountains, and I never had any problem to get up and over them. In fact I mostly outran the diesel pushers and trucks. My gas mileage was around 8.5 mpg
