Just spend some times talking to folks about their rig and you will soon discover that most folks are just content to hitch up and go.
Unless they are really underpowered or terribly mismatched they just do not notice any particular problem and feel perfectly content and safe with the way their rig responds.

Contrary to popular belief, there in nothing illegal about overloading the ratings on your TV. It certainly is not smart. It can be expensive. It can be very annoying. But unless it represents a serious hazard on the road, it is not illegal.
Good advice... research your numbers on towing vehicle and possible campers..don't overload either when going on trip. hitch up and go camping. the more you hook up, tow to campground, setup camp, breakdown camp, rehook , tow home you will gain experience and enjoyment. towing a camper will make you a better driver all around because you will learn quickly to evaluate and anticipate traffic situations. when we first bought our current 33ft TT i was a nervous wreck just towing it an hour drive home. with a WDH, sway control, and electric brakes it tows as good if not better than our 4500lb pontoon boat and trailer..
