No worries at all. Things get jumbled here, especially for me and my small attention span!

My best advice to anyone towing anything is know your equipment to the extent possible. Sales banter, trucks or RV's, is for one thing only. Get your signature on the contract. Actual weights and configuration of my rig follows:
2017 Chevrolet 3500 CrewCab, standard box & SRW.
2017 Keystone Avalanche 321RS.
Truck is full fuel, full compliment of hand tools, & B&W Companion hitch 20,000lb GTW / 5000lb vertical.
Trailer is loaded for camping including food, coolers, grills, tables, etc. Full Propane, ~40gal fresh water, dry black and gray tanks.

TRUCK: (truck / truck & trailer)
LF:2410/2400 RF:2320/2310
LR:1740/3080 RR:1800/3180
GVW: 10970 GVWR: 11500
Curb weight(GM):7550 Actual:8270
Tires:3525 x 4

TRAILER:
LF: 3770 RF: 3290
LR: 3450 RR: 2870
GVW: 13380 GVWR: 15000
Tires: 4400 x 4
Axles: 7000 x 2

Complete unit loaded ready to tow(Less people & pets):
GCW: 24350 GCWR: 25300

My Opinion:
While I believe I can maintain weights within limits, it does not change the fact that this rig is near capacity. In fact, loading the trailer to the GVWR will push the GCWR over limit. Every single one of these limits when exceeded, either one or all, can make you liable in a crash. Be Safe, be responsible, and most of all, be confident that you know your rig. The safety of your family and the families of others depend on it.

Just food for thought...

I can tell you that with a 2905 dry pin weight when loaded he will be over his RGAWR of 6500 lbs.
