Given your own information, the van weighs 5460 and you carry 1500 pounds of cargo. That's 6960. The trailer GVW is 7700. Added together, that's 14660, 60 pounds OVER your GCWR.
If I remember, you bought that trailer in May, about 7 months ago. Have you towed it over a CAT scale yet? If so, what did the weight slip say? If you haven't, chances are, living in the northeast, you won't be able to tow it to a scale until spring. December is a bad time to begin worrying about something you can't validate for 5 or 6 months..... Again, just my opinion.
