When did you buy the trailer? Most states have 48-72 hour "Right of Recission" laws. That equates to two - three business days where you may be able to get your money back. Although you should have checked the weight rating on the truck prior to your visiting the RV dealership, I would contact the dealership manager and explain (politely, at least at first) you feel that the misinformation the salesperson gave you puts you and your family at great risk as well as others on the road. There's always the tactic of threats, i.e. going to the AG's office, BBB, etc., but if you start out polite you might be surprised.
I hate to point this out but it drives me crazy. Many states have a "right of Rescission" law but it only applies when someone comes to your home and the contract is entered into there. These laws were enacted to protect consumers from shady aluminum siding and driveway repair people. There are also a lot of conditions that must be met in order to back out of even these types of contracts. They DO NOT apply when you go on a dealer's lot or store and make a purchase. There may be a state that does allow this but I haven't heard of one. The problem with posting this erroneous information is that it perpetuates the notion that one can enter into a binding contract and then change their mind.
If I was the OP, I'd throw myself to the mercy of the dealer and see if they would rather have a happy customer or one who hates his new setup. I also wouldn't hold my breath waiting for this to happen though.
