Throwing some more numbers around. :B
Your 12,500# GVWR vehicle. with full fuel and nothing else has a 1,559# OCCC.Subtracting the OCCC from the GVWR tells you, your vehicle with that full fuel tank and nothing else, should weigh around 10,941#. Subtracting that from your 18,500# GCWR leaves 7,759# which can be towed. Of course that number is totally unrealistic for a tow rating, since neither you or passengers, food gear and whatnot have been thrown into the calculations yet.
As has been suggested, you should have your vehicle weighed,preferably while fully loaded for camping, which will let you know how exactly much you can tow, and carry.
