So have you towed the empty unit home yet??
If you can hit a scale on the way home, see where your empty weights are.
My 2001 has a camper package with larger (3500 springs) and optional larger tires 3,415# capacity. I am as big as I would like to go.
That 15,000# 5er is large even for a 3500 SRW.
You can put all the band-aids you want on the TV, but it still has a maximum 10,000# GVWR, even a factory 3500 SRW maxes out at I think 12,400#.
