But who in their right mind would even consider hooking a 1/2 ton to a 10-12k++...40'er 5th wheel no less?

With your 38' Outback you have never towed it at that "9k dry weight"!!! Most "dry weights" posted on brochures or labeled on your rv are on the VERY conservative side so odds are very good your rv NEVER weighed only 9k, dry or otherwise, but much more.
The ONLY time it MIGHT have weighed that was the day it rolled off the assembly line. It has weighed somewhere in the 1200 to 2000 lbs neighborhood more than that "dry weight" the first time you loaded it to travel, putting you on the north side of 10k lbs easily, which also puts you in that same category you just mentioned.
