What do you all think? Too close for comfort and bad idea or workable solution?

The goose box replaces the existing pin box so the net weight gain is near zero. I am assuming you have 5th wheel prep in the TV.
That 5er also has a 2,600# payload, at half that you are at 1,300# that is a reasonable load for weekending, which will also help.
You will just need to be vigilant about watching your weights.
