Also the difference between towing a 5000lb rv & your current choice is the current one is double that weight (9845lbs if I recall) so most every number used to calculate will also be double.

Yes I agree.. I’m not good at articulating.. my point was the original payload number was not from the sticker on the ops van it was from a brochure that only listed “ 3500 extended van” I surmised that was for a base,empty cargo extended van with two bucket seats.
The op’s payload would most probably be less then that on account of it being optioned for a 15 person passenger van with all the extra bench seats and windows. I wanted them to understand that there number would be less.. need to weigh the van and subtract from gvwr to get payload if not listed on the actual van itself.
