Question for the Tow Pro's

I wanted to ask your options on a truck/trailer setup. As you can see in my signature, I have a 2500, but I have the opportunity to pick up a new 35' bumper pull triple axle. My GCWR is 20K. My truck with me, fuel etc is 7660#'s. The trailer empty is 8,120lbs, 216 gallons of H2O 1793lbs, 20 gallons of propane 92lbs, 56 gallons of fuel 350lbs, and one ATV at 800lbs. This puts the trailer at 11,155 lbs even though the GVWR of the trailer is 18,000 lbs. So with the extra weight of clothes, pots, pans, etc...I may be a little over. By the way, the trailer is a Coachman Adrenaline 314 FS TT. So do any of you guys/gals see any problems? Thanks in advance.
