A hundred pounds over? People do it every day. Can't recommend it but there are far more important safety factors while driving than 100 pounds extra payload.
Best I can say is put it on a scale and know your real numbers.
Wow! Three pages in before someone caught the fact the OP's post was based on DRY weights and calculations!
Best thing to is load it up hook it up and head for the scales with what you have now. This is with the TV and TT loaded as you would for a camping trip and get your real weights!
The. Post back with TV Listed GVWR, axle ratings, and tire size and tire weight rating. Without that information it is all speculation and guess work.
You also state different numbers being over GVWR and Payload. The max payload is caculated at the factory as GVWR - TV Curb weight. The vehicle GVWR is the number to be watching, and more importantly TIRE and axle ratings.
It is your choice to run over ratings, some do it just fine others have issues.
There are many that are within all ratings and have terrible issues.
Let us know what you find out at the scales!!
