Understanding GVWR
I'm thinking of getting the Nash 24M, which has a Dry weight of 6023 lbs, and a GVWR of 9200 lbs. Hitch weight of 595lbs. So 3177 lbs of payload is a lot. If i loaded it up to reach close to tha...

^Experience. That’s how.
However, you don’t say exactly what truck, but 9200lb tow rating and 1200 payload rating = loaded crew cab half ton with average power drivetrain (not deep geared eco boost or 6.2 Vortec).
Sounds like a good match up if you stay away from the rvnet weight cops. Realistic payload on your truck is governed by rawr. And you’ve likely got 2000lbs or avialable payload.
I’d do it and not think twice about it. Except, you say “living” in the RV. Does that mean mostly parked and not a ton of traveling or vice versa?
Flatland, low altitude and not a ton of miles, great. Mountains, altitude and lots of miles would make me want an “overkill” truck just for ease of towing and easier on the vehicle.
Not decided strictly by weight imo but rather duty cycle.
