I agree entirely, but I don't see what the issue is? If the GVWR of the TV is 3500lbs and the trailer with our stuff in it is maybe 3000lbs, I don't see how that's "unsafe".
Again, I'm very new to all this so input is appreciated.

Those facts aren't facts at all.
The dry weight is just over 2500lbs, and the gvwr for the Santa Fe is 3500lbs. It's just my wife and I so we only take MAYBE 200lbs of stuff, mostly clothes and food, and bikes.
Puts us well under.
Used the same TV when we went out east last on a trailer almost identical to this and we were fine, and the TV is fine.
Appreciate the concern though.

When I rented the HTT for the road trip I asked them to rent an anti-sway / weight distort hitch. Should I get one of those for this? It's bigger than the rental and weighs a bit more, too. I'd feel comfortable with one but are they really worth it for a 19fter?
Dry weight is 2600lbs.
Depends on what tow vehicle you have is.
If it's less than a 1/2 ton truck, YES.
Also, download a HTT PDI list.
