I had a '94 chassis 29' Gulfstream that had a GVW sticker of 12,200 lbs. Ford rated the GCWR at 18,500lbs for the 460/E4OD/4.10 rear powertrain. From the model year, I assume this is a no-slide house, and I'd hope so just for the weight. On a scale I'd expect the RV empty to be at least 11,500. Towing 4 down won't add tongue weight, so I think you's be under GCWR, but the unit itself will be easily be overweight probably with full fuel and propane along with 2 adults.
I'm sure I was over GVWR with my old RV in the same way, but I just made sure I had good Load Range E tires, same as on the E450's, and it handled the weight OK. A toad should have an independent braking set-up in any case.
