Ok I now have hard numbers. No more guessing. To simulate a loaded trailer I had the dealer fill the 112 gal fresh water tanks so I could run it across the scales. I figures the 934 lbs of water would be close to real weight once I load it down with the necessities. I hooked up and drove 4 miles to the Flying J scales. Here are the real numbers.
Truck steer axle 4300lbs. Rear axle 5920 lbs. trailer axles 9940 lbs. gross combination 20,160 lbs. my main concern was the pin weight and rear axle weight. It comes in 164 lbs under max.??.
May not be ideal, but any reasons to be concerned now.
So a little close on the rear axle and TIRE ratings, TIRE being the biggest issue. I believe you stated earlier that TV has tires rated at 3,042 ea., I would strongly suggest moving up in tire size for more safety margin!
