Try looking at ATC. Expensive but incredibly durable and reasonable weight figures. I pull the flagship 28 front bedroom with a half ton nationwide.
Like that act trailer. I understand they have aluminum slats floor, how do you keep warm in winter? Also is the generator installed, fuel tank, pump station for bikes ? Thanks

One thing to remember is that just because the GVW of the trailer is X it doesn't mean that's what you're going to be pulling. The capacity comes from the axles and tires along with the pin/tongue weight. There's no magic to it besides that.
I think you meant "GVWR." The "GVW" is the actual weight of what you're pulling. For example, my trailer has a GVW of about 10k pounds when loaded, but the GVWR is 13,500.

The rating you are looking for is GCWR, aka, Gross Combination Weight Rating.
I can guarantee the GCWR is higher than 10,000lb for a 3/4 ton.

I have a 2008 Ford F250 crew cab short bed pickup with a GVWR of 10,000 lbs. Looking for a 26-30' toy hauler to use as travel trailer and haul several large RC airplanes (total weight about 250#). Most haulers we've seen have a GVWR of 13,000lbs, and a tongue weight of about 1400 pounds. What safety and legal concerns do we face relative to weight limits. Sorry if this sounds sketchy, but I'm a bit concerned about being across the country, and have my rig impounded, and me in jail.
I'll get the truck weighed today, as a start?

We kept hearing that guys were getting pulled over and their weight checked at Glamis but never got confirmation. Unless it's a special CHP unit with portable scales they would have no idea besides reading the sticker and that's "Gross"

To answer your question: No one is impounding RV's because they are overweight. As a recreational user, you don't have to go thru weigh stations and short of really bad gross negligence they will have no idea if you are over weight.
But looking at your post, I'm pretty sure you have your numbers mixed up.
- GVWR: The maximum weight of the individual unit (truck and trailer each have separate numbers)
- CGVWR: The maximum weight of truck and trailer combined.
There are a handful of other ratings that come into play also.
I can't say with certainty without the full details of your truck but most likely it would be fine and within the limits.
