You do realize that by the time you add necessities (i.e. battery, hitch, water, propane, wheel chocks, hoses, party lights, manufacturer options, etc. etc.), this trailer will actually weigh significantly more than the 7079 lb spec, yes?
More like 7600-7800lb, and now add your clothes and luggage and gear to that.
Oh definitely, without a doubt, I know dry weight means nothing. But all the math and what others have said here (including someone with the same TV setup) has said if I start at a 7000lb camper, I should be ok towing it (although some think I should go a bit lower to be fair). Searching around I have seen a lot of people with my TV towing a lot more weight, but I'm trying to stay within certain limits according to the math and not just go "Well technically I could tow 10k pounds so I'll just go ahead and do that!".
