Lantley, great advice IMO.
The OP is asking as a new arrival to RVing, not a veteran. As a newbie I was able to do the simple math to ensure we were GTG but I've hauled many types of loads over the years - and I did lots of homework on RVs. Albeit after we bought it.
The specs, weight limits, and other considerations are there beyond just simple liability of a manufacturer of a TV or TT. There's science (theirs, not mine) that these independent sources use in these worksheets. They factor what is safe, not just what could or can be towed. Can be a huge difference.
