Not confuse something so simple, even more, but assuming you’re correct with what your stated dry weight and gvw of the trailer is, then it is really an overbuilt trailer or it’s a toyhauler.
As the vast vast majority of “normal “ travel trailers don’t have 3000lbs ccc. If that’s the case you likely have a substantial/heavy tongue weight. And if your truck is only settling 1.5” over the rear axle, then you probably have the wdh setup just about right.
And since you never complained, thru the mass confusion here, of trailer sway, you certainly don’t have a light tongue weight. Combined with the fact that the greater the tongue weight, the greater the bucking effect and greater effect by contraction jts in concrete highways.
^All this above predicated on the weights you gave being correct.
While you’ve still not provided much for meaningful numbers or feedback, all points lead to there is no problem but you could help yourself with some real tires and stiffer rear suspension, maybe.
