FYI the listed tonue weight on most trailers is "dry weight" and it does not include the weight of items on the tongue such as propane in the tanks (typical 20# per bottle) battery(s) (typical 50# each). It does not include the hitch receiver on the truck (50 to 100#) nor anything you add into the trailer - clothes, food, water, etc all of which will add to the tongue weight.
It would be a good idea to load up the truck with you family and get the truck weighed and subtract that from the GVWR to get how much you have left for the LOADED tongue weight.
