New Trailer Advice
So long story short I landed up at the local RV show and left with a 39' travel trailer. The trailer details are here: Shipping Weight - 8,795 lbs Carrying Capacity - 2,360 lbs Hitch Weight - 99...

BenK, OP indicated the truck hitch is rated for 1,500 lbs. The dry hitch wt of trailer appears to be 995 lbs.
I think the truck/trailer combo will safely work. It is a long trailer that could be a handful in a high wind, but the smart RVer tries to avoid that situation.

Yes, but his estimated overall TT weight is around 12,500 per the OP. If his TW is 10%, then he's fine. If it's around the "normal" 12%, then he'll be at this limit.
Now that being said, he's towing less than 100 miles only a few times of the year. If he packs his TT carefully and not fill it full, he should be fine.
