To the OP, welcome to having the RV net weight police descend upon your parade like a ton of bricks ( pardon the pun ). Before you panic and run out and trade the 1500 on a new one ton dually, take your truck to the scales and get some real world weights. Compare them to the door sticker, paying particular attention to rear axle actual weight, vs capacity.
If you already have this new trailer, or can get it to the scale, get the actual weights.
Real numbers trump internet forum opinions spouted by guys that just want to spend your money on a new truck.
When you get some real data, come back here and let's discuss this further. There is a possibility you could in fact hook this all up and be within the axle ( and tire ) ratings, and have a good combo.
I spend seven months a year on the road in a lot of different campgrounds. Talk to a lot of people. Let's just say what I see out here in the real world is often quite different from what I see being yakked about on the forum. A lot of innernut keyboard experts out there....
You must be an RV salesman, next you'll have the OP thinking he can safely take his rig up through the rockies.....What a TV can physically "tow" has nothing to do with whhat it should tow nd more importantly what it can do safely.
