8500 pounds dry is 10k loaded RV for week+ long trips. So that will put you over GCWR.
There is payload limitation which is usually the first limit hit, well under tow ratings in some cases. Check you actual truck (not brochure/web sites) for those. B-pillar should have this sticker. Note what yours says where mine lists 2051.
That has to include you, wife, cargo in the bed and trailer tongue weight.

Under 7k dry, maybe 6k for the capable half tons. That's where actual RVers are happy. 8k+ People replace the RV or the truck.
