OP - Just read your post about how you calculated the weight of the extra fuel and passengers, etc but I didn't notice where you included the weight of the empty tank.
I believe my 40 gallon tank/toolbox weighs around 80 pounds.

OK I will throw in another 100 pounds for the tank itself. I had 300 pound margin and now I have 200 pounds. Like I said I allowed for two more real sized passengers that do not exist as of now and calculated at my max trailer weight. I always run with only about 1/3 fresh water and empty waste tanks. Just enough to get me there and be able to use the bathroom etc. I really do not think I have a problem with this particular set up.
