This is not some internet idea or ideal speculation. The manufacturer has provided specs. Greatly exceeding those specs is a poor idea and can result in an unsafe rig with poor handling and overloaded tires, wheels and suspension.
Half ton pickups are great for hauling some sacks of fertilizer or plywood from the home center but most are not really set up for any heavy duty use. When the RV salesperson states a warning, I would take it really seriously and listen to the options they have as well as checking all the specs.
“Greatly exceeding” we’re not talking 1000lbs here. We’re talking a couple hundred pounds. I for one would not worry about that. There are MH’s out there with smaller CCC and the same amount of storage as my class A with a 4200lb CCC!
I’ve seen far more dangerous 3/4-1 ton setups in the road.
