Weight limit on towed vehicle

We have a 2007 Fleetwood Jamboree 31M on a Ford E450 chassis. The information plate on the hitch and in the motorhome data says 3500 lbs tow capacity. We were hoping to be able to tow our 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer. It is paid for and we just about tapped ourselves out upgrading to this motorhome. We took the Trailblazer to the local mill and found it weighs 4700 lbs. It may be a stupid question but I have to ask before buying another vehicle to tow. Is there any "fudge" room built into the weight limits? Warranty is not an issue as the chassis is out of warranty. We plan to use a brake system on the toad and a Falcon All Terrain tow bar my sister has to tow with. Do we need to start shopping for a vehicle?

What part of the 3500# max tow capacity do you not understand.:h
A few pounds over is no big deal but 1200#!:E
I don't think so!
In fact, if you load up the MH you may not even have 3500# available.
Subtract the loaded weight of the MH from the Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR from your Manual) to see how much tow capacity is left.
If you do tow it, and are in an accident, you will have opened a barn door for a personal liability litigation case.
