Everything I see looks fine. Your towing capacity should be 7,600 lbs and, even at max weight, the RV would have right at 500 lbs of tongue weight if 13% is on the tongue.
Just be mindful of your payload and all should be fine. As in, don't put 1,000 lbs of passengers in the cab and 500 lbs of camping supplies in the bed. Use the 780 lbs of available cargo weight in the trailer first.
Someone else can chime in regarding a weight distributing hitch or not. I've towed much, much heavier with less capable vehicles and never used a WDH, so I'm not the person to ask about those.

Your truck will handle it with ease, and won't need a WDH unless you plan to load it tongue heavy above 13%. At full GVWR that is only 504 pounds on the ball. A standard ball shank is probably 10-15 pounds at the most.
