I have been looking at a Lance 1475, with with a configured dry weight 2495 lbs and a configured weight of 2600 lbs. VERY close to the limit.
You are stating the configured weight is only 105 lbs more that the dry weight. You intend to only load 105 lbs of stuff into it? A better calculation is to take the dry weight, add the cargo carrying capacity and multiply by 13% to get tongue weight. Your hitch receiver must be able to support this weight. What your vehicle can carry - payload, will be reached way before you reach your tow capacity.
Besides, the cargo capacity of the Lance is 1205 Lbs. Added to dry weight of 2495, your already at 3700 lbs - and that is if you believe the brochure weight.
Good luck.
