Was it loaded for a f amily of 4 or was it empty?
My TM 2720 weighs 3380 pounds on the axle. I estimate that with the tongue weight it weigh around 4,100 pounds.
It is great fun to come around a turn on the way to the campground and find the entire road occupied by a heard of cattle.
How fast can you stop:
1. in a blind turn
2. off camber
3. dirt and gravel on the road
4. steep drop off
Theoretically, the TM brakes will stop the TM and the TV brakes will stop the TV. I have no interested in testing that theory.
I am sure it can be done:
1. take no dishes, eat out instead. That eliminates the weight of the pots/pans, dishes and food.
2. always have full hookups, so you never carry water.
3. For clothing do what I do when backpacking, one shirt, one pair of jeans. That will get you through at least a week.
4. no TV, no generator, not outdoor table and chairs.
Just a few random thoughts.
When I camp, I can take pretty much anything I want.
We each make our own choices.
