It sounds like you came across an informed and caring salesman that was putting your safety and well being before a sale. Well done.
Based on what you said, I agree that the unit is not suited for you. You need something a bit stronger.
The weight issue for cargo is about breaking the frame or axles. The weight towing cannot be added to the Cargo capacity. That only addresses what the power train can handle.
100 lbs of gear per person is a bit light in my opinion. It is amazing how much stuff people will bring even if they say they will pack light.
I would be looking for a unit with about another 1,000 lbs of cargo capacity. So a unit with around 2,700 lbs.
Enjoy the shopping, it really is a wonderful part of the RV experience.
Happy camping.
Vin.
