Some numbers for your TT:
Dry weight: 4806 (no options)
GVWR: 6000
Weight with 39 gallons of water: 5131
So that leaves you 869 lbs for any options you've added, the weight of 2 full propane tanks, and all of your stuff. Have you ever weighed it fully loaded for a trip?
That's probably why a larger trailer like yours only carries 39 gallons of fresh.
That's a pretty heavy trailer so I assume you are towing it with a truck. Horse "people" often carry extra water in truck-bed mounted water tanks with pumps. You can carry a lot more water safely in the bed of your truck than you can adding it to a frame that's already loaded to near or over GVWR.
