I note besides all the above posts, the remaining available payload capacity of the truck is 220 lbs with it fully loaded for camping and the TT hooked up.

I think 220 lbs could be eaten up quickly if not keeping an eye on things.
Look again. The case with 220 lbs. payload remaining is WITHOUT the weight distribution bars attached. With the bars attached, the remaining payload of the truck is 340 lbs. The weight distribution hitch transfers 120 lbs. from the truck to the trailer axles. Or maybe it's 140 lbs. depending on which scale is correct. Anyway, the truck is 120 lbs. lighter and the trailer is 140 lbs. heavier with the WDH bars attached.
But yes, a couple more passengers on board would put it at the limit.
