And still be below the 2k or 4K max weight.

Yes! May have to move propane bottles and spare tire to rear bumper

Camper I’m looking at has 3400 dry weight and tongue weight of 523

Makes sense.

Be very careful moving weight to rear. Move too much and trailer will throw truck around like a puppy with a stick. Must have more weight forward of the wheels to safely tow.

Too heavy, by the time you have your stuff and the water tank full you'll be pushing overweight.

I don’t tow with any tanks full and all I keep in camper is linens and some chairs and mat. The rest is packed in another vehicle pulling the golf cart. Believe me I know it’s very close to the max by itself. I’m driving up to look at it tomorrow and going to see if they will let me hook up to it.

Good luck, hope it works out for you. Quite a caravan you'll have.

I have always been told the tounge weight should be 10% of the trailer. So 4,000 lbs should be 400 lbs tounge weight.

Did you have to drop the bumper or remove the crush bar?

Nope! Check out the install info, here: https://assets.curtmfg.com/masterlibrary/13504/installsheet/13504_INS.pdf
Trimming of a few things is required, though.

Not a bad option, but for the price, I'd rather do the extra work and install the factory hitch for a cleaner install.
