Visit Winnebago.com, and under the Resources tab, there's a "Operator Manuals" link. Follow the trail to your year/model and you can download the appropriate manual.
Look at the outside of your chassis near the front end to get the type. If it's on a Ford (look for the blue oval on the grille), it will say E350 or E450 on the fenders. Go to the Ford website and use your VIN to verify the correct manuals to download from there.
All this info will help you figure our the towing requirements of your motorhome/chassis. Towing isn't just a general thing, it's specific to each type of motorhome and the underlying chassis, and yes, it does include things like GVWR, GVW, GCWR, GAWR, and the tongue weight that the trailer yoke applies to the hitch mount of the motorhome.
Now get busy.....you have some homework to do. It's just some simple math, I'm sure you can do it.
We've all had to do it for our own towing requirements, if we want to be safe.
Your first post states the motorhome is rated for 5,000lbs towing capacity, which is pretty standard for most class C motorhomes these days.
You can save yourself a lot of math and time if you get your trailer weighed first. If it exceeds 5,000 lbs before you add the rest of the cargo to the equation, you'll be overweight to tow. In that case, you'll have to get someone with a heavier duty tow vehicle (aka a pickup truck) to haul the horses and tack and everything else.
