Depends which Gemini you have. We have the 24TX which is on the Mercedes chassis, weighs in a little over 11,000 pounds, and the GVCW is something north of 15,000 pounds. That leaves roughly 4,000 pounds to load and to tow, so if in theory we only add 1,000 pounds in weight, including occupants, that leaves 3,000 pounds to tow. I have towed our HHR with our Gemini, and it does ok, but not great. I won't tow long distances or over mountains. The other 3 Gemini models are on Ford Transit chassis and have lower weight ratings. I believe the 5,000 pounds you refer to, is the hitch towing capacity, which really tells you little. Find your GVCW rating, and you can not exceed that weight with the weight of the loaded motorhome plus the weight of your tow vehicle. We previously had a 41 foot DP and I really never thought about weight, now I have to.
