750 lbs of souls in the TV is a mighty big hit on the total available payload of 1653 lbs.

Remember, the dry tongue weight of any trailer is completely irrelevant. Assuming a gross trailer weight (GVWR) of 8800 lbs and 15% tongue weight, a "ready to go camping" scenario will leave the OP with just barely over 300 lbs of payload remaining. That remaining 300 lbs has to account for all humans in the TV, cargo in the TV, drinks in the TV, iPads, laptops, and other electronics in the TV, carseats in the TV, and a 100 lb WDH. I wouldn't be surprised if many of the towing specs (GCVWR, axle ratings, GVWR, and tire specs) are exceeded.

I just dont see how one can consider this a safe towing rig.
