Thanks, all the best, HAPPY TRAVELS
Even at 8,000 pounds loaded for camping, your tongue weight will be 900-1000 pounds (assuming 12% on the tongue). Add some more for propane, battery, WD hitch, and you could be pushing 1,200 pounds on the hitch, leaving only 250 of remaining payload.
You will save yourself tons of grieve, stress and money by asking these good questions ahead of time.
