I agree with you on the overloaded TV thing.
Here's my concern: Manufacturers put a designed weight sticker on these things based on no options, if I understand things. Add a few options, put our stuff in them, and we get overweight fast. My SOB TT has a gross weight rating of 11.5K give or take, with a spec'd tongue of 800lbs give or take. When I took delivery, I asked if they actually weighed the tongue to set my WDH up. The answer I got was "no, we just go by the sticker" Really? I weighed my tongue with a tongue weight scale, and it's 1300lbs. Empty. Ours has options,,,,, my point being, we really don't know what we have until we scale them. Going by the sticker can mislead you into trouble.
