Question About My Axle Weight

I have a 2017 HC345RL. Please bear with me while I try to understand some things.. After reading some articles I got to looking on my unit. The tag on Axle says 6000lb capacity and since there are 2 that makes 12,000lb capacity, I'm assuming. The unit empty ( except with 2 filled propane tanks) weighs in around 11,700lbs. Loaded ready to go camping Im weighing in right around 13,000lbs. So does this make at least 1,000lbs over capacity for the axles. The placard on the outside (ever how true it is) says GW of 14,200lbs. Am I missing something or did I miss something major when I bought it new.
Thank you for your help. I pedal slow but I do get there.

Your Pin weight will be about 2500 (swag) pounds. that is weight that is not on the axils.
