your 13,400 is the DRY weight, not the GVWR which is 16,500. your calculations on your fluid are close enough for govt work. I use 8.0-lbs for water and 4.0-lbs for LP but it's a distinction without a difference.
you're either using the scales incorrectly (hard to imagine) or you just have more stuff that you realize.
if this were me I'd go ahead and have the axles upgraded anyway but before I did that I'd unload everything and re-weigh. that'll give you a baseline weight (we used to call that the 'wet weight'. the weight of an otherwise empty RV with full fresh water, fuel and LP tanks). THAT will answer the question of just how much stuff you have added. I'd have the axle upgrade anyway just cuz.
See the latest post I made just a few minutes ago :)
Edit: Thanks for the help. I agree that the best thing to do is just upgrade the axles. I explain why in the last post.
