towing with 1/2 ton towable trailer.
I have a Cougar lite that weighs 7,000 lbs empty. I load it up to another 800 lbs, so I'm around 8,000 including myself. The hitch weight is around 1200 factory, but I'm sure that's up to 1800 by now....

My fifth wheel weighs 6720 empty with a pin weight of 1160. Loaded with full water it weighs 8420 with a pin weight of 1280, all weights verified by CAT scale. It has proven to be a very well-matched combo.
If you truly add only 800 lbs. to your empty weight there is no way that 600 of it adds to the pin. I would guess your pin weight is less than 1500 loaded. But why guess? Take it to the scales and find out.
Configured correctly there are some "half tons" that can carry that much pin weight, but not all can.
