#1, no one tows an empty trailer. Never consider that weight. I like to use the GVW of the trailer.
I will not support or condemn your setup. If that is what you can afford right now, just be safe and enjoy. I don't think your setup will be over and if it is, it won't be by much, unless that trailer has super high tongue weight. And for ease of mind, take it by the CAT scales. I did, and found I am over by 100lbs on TV gvw. I guess I will use the bathroom before I tow :-p
