I'm always amazed how much c*** people must carry. My TT out the factory door was labeled at 5400lbs curb weight, 7700 GVWR. After propane tanks, battery, 1/4 tank of fresh water, pots, pans, food, clothing, it gained 650 lbs. That's for a one week trip with just the bride and myself. I couldn't possibly add 2000lbs of stuff into the camper. So take the idea you'll load the TT up to the Gross rating with a grain of salt.
Yep. Especially if the Dry weight is 5000, and the GVWR is 8000. My TT is 4811lb dry from the factory, it has a 7300lb GVWR. It weighs loaded ready to camp. 6000lb.
to use a huge GVWR of a Tt to decide if you can tow it. It just foolish.
