Lorrie - I hope this is not out of line, but I think you're priced way too low, at least by half, more likely $10K too low. Of course that depends on the work needed. Think you might take a step...

Tow vehicle?

If you've not already done so, set up your trailer as it will be on this planned trip and go weigh your rig. Don't make assumptions based solely on written specs.

tire wear

It's possible that the recent renovation added enough weight that the axle is now overloaded. Be interesting to see a current weighing result, combined with the spec for the new axle.

Chev V6 towing

A full size van, likely 6000 lbs, with a V6, rated to tow 7400?
Sounds like you should carefully review these specs and the specific vehicle.

Honda towing

Would be good to check with Honda on the WDH, as they in the past have advised against using one - guess there can be issues.

painting fiberglass

If this is the outside and you're looking at the bare, original fiberglass gelcoat, wash it with a dewaxer before sanding or painting.

axle specs

Can't help you with the original specs but, one approach might be to get it unloaded, take it to a scale & get it weighed. Then add 1500 or so lbs to that (cargo or carrying capacity), and then look...
