Well I was hoping I could get by for a couple years with it. The kids are young 1 and 3 so long trips are out of the picture. It's two or three nights max so maybe that will help keep the weight down. Thinking about it.....we do keep a lot of things in the front storage and maybe that didn't help.
People do it all the time. My old truck was rated to tow 10,200 pounds. my fifth wheel camper was 11,800 pounds empty. I towed it for few years. Its not a legal issue, don't believe anyone else say it is, its not. I see truck towing camper that is just so wrong. As of now, my current rig is right at the max, but if I load bikes, kayak, add few other things, I am over by 500 pounds. I am hoping to get a better truck in few years too.
