Dry TW is 830lbs on the brochure so figuring propane 830+60lbs=890lbs
Battery @45lb+890=935lbs.
Add 100lbs for WDH+1035lbs
Add min 100lbs for front storage gear 1135lbs
Your receiver is only rated for 1130lbs max.
Take your 1850lb CCC.
Minus 1135lbs=715lbs
DW+DH=300lbs?
Kids+150lbs?
715-450=265lbs
That's all you have left before you reach the trucks RAWR and GVW.
What else goes in the truck? Bikes, lawn chairs, BBQ, firewood?
Also your TT only has 1381lbs for CCC.
Minus 60lbs for propane and 45lbs for the battery and you only have 1276lbs left. And a big assumption since most brochure weights are low on the TT's dry weight. So increasing the dry weight after delivery decreases the CCC. Point is you'll probably be maxed out after you load the TT up. Not good for the tires or suspension.
So you'd have a maxed truck and maxed out TT.
I'd look for a TT with more CCC and a bigger truck.
