As mentioned you want to load up like you will be camping and get it on a scale. I suspect your brother in law is right. Don't forget to look at the receiver rating as well.
I have the HD Towing and Max Payload and tow a fraction over 8,000. My tongue weight is near the receiver max of 1,150. Your receiver may be less and your payload will likely be exceeded.
As far as the trucks tow weighting the manufacturer assumes you are pulling a flatbed when making those numbers. A travel trailer is different, primarily with more tongue weight.
Good luck,
Stu
