First TT buyer

Ok, I think I found the right one for me and the better half. 2009 Nash 22H, private deal for $11k. Going to see if I can get him down to $10,700, basically splitting the costs of a new set of tires, still has the original tires. Very clean inside and out. Concerns are 1) left rear tire (as seen from the front of the TT) has balding about an inch or so in from the edge of the tire. He says, and I verified, it is the only one that did that. Problem at all? Big problem at all? 2) walked the entire roof, seems very solid except in a few areas near sky light, may have been stepping between joists. The caulk is applied very thick, just short of a gloppy bead, but has some surface splitting, doesn't look like it goes all the way through. Just have it re-applied or just re-coated? No signs at all of interior leaking. 3) frame below the Diamond plate on front has what looks like some surface rust, doesn't appear to be eating in, yet. Concern or just grind or clean it off and re-paint? He moved from Colorado down to Phoenix a year ago so was in a moist environment for most of it's life. 4) my truck has a payload capacity of 1380 lbs. I'm using a conservative 1200 lbs. due to add ons. Am I figuring this right:
1200 payload
- 130 the better half
- 50 the rest of me
- 150 2 Honda generators, 5 gal fuel, cabling for gens
- 100 ice chest, assorted things you need in the truck
- 200 fire wood
- 50 WD hitch and shank
- 520 dry tongue weight (I know, the TW will be more when TT is loaded to go)
= 0 payload cushion

Would greatly appreciate any and all advice. Thank you in advance
