Remember that if the camper is loaded and weighs 4500 lbs., you are looking at about 520 lbs. of tongue weight. You will need to subtract that from your payload sticker and then figure out the rest of the weight in your vehicle. You may find that you are getting uncomfortably close to max payload.
Get all the numbers for all the weights and do some figuring.
Good luck.
So assuming 520# that's ~925# left for people and cargo - and of course extensive cargo should be put in the trailer anyway. What about that is that makes you 'uncomfortable'?
Nothing. It's just that you nor the OP posted a payload sticker rating fot the TV. Therefore I just mentioned the tongue weight because it is a major consideration.
I also tow with a "smaller" truck. I have weighed and reweighed many times to keep a safety margin.
