How much overweight are you on your DRW?

I'm not over weight because I do not have that Montana. The duallies you see towing could be 4500/5500 models.
As for my truck, do the numbers:
GCWR, 23,500 - wt of tow veh (use GVWR) 11,400 = tow rating 12,100
RV weighs 17,000, PW of 20%= 3,400.
17000 - 3400 = 13,600 weight to tow
So even using the numbers listed, I'd be 1,500 over weight.* My cargo capcity off the sticker is 4207, so if I put 3,400 in the bed as PW, that would leave me only 807 for everything else, hitch, etc...plus I have an extra 450 lbs of fuel.* So, I'd have to leave off some fuel and reduce the PW.* Of course if I reduce the PW, that will put the weight of the trailer even farther over weight than the 1,500 noted above.
