Vending gear in back with a shell = lots of weight. Everything else in the TV including passengers, WD hitch, and a tank of gas, and you will be over payload way before you reach the mythical max towing capacity number. You better rsearch this thouroughly before jumping in with an inadequate TV. Your towing a big box down the highway. If gas mileage is a concern, you need to look into a popup - there are hard sided popups like Trailmanor. MPG should be the last thing on your mind... PS - been to Asheville a number of times - very nice place to live.
