Do I have enough goat?... I mean Ram......
As a preamble: I have a Ram 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi. I have the automatic 8 speed tranny... long story short... I'm rated at 8,150 towing, and 1,650 payload. It is what it is, and such shall it be.....

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.
The trailer GVWR is only 7600 lbs... including the propane, battery etc. Those aren't additional weights and are already included in the tongue weights.
