Your camper will have a pin weight around 3000-4000 lbs. That's without including anyone in the truck/ fuel / firewood / dog / or whatever else you may be carting along.

View what happened to my friend. He was pulling a new 40ft pull behind with a Nissan Titan I-20, Mile marker 169. Doing 70 in a 70 MPH zone. Semi was doing around 60-65. No distractions, ie phones,texting, drinking. We all tried to tell him he needed a larger truck but he wouldn't listen. Now he owns a 2016 Ram 2500 4WD, gas burner, 11, 000lb fifth wheel. Oh yeah, he almost killed his granddaughter. I tell everyone to really make sure what you are using to pull trailers are SAFE for towing and STOPPING. He bought a gas burner for his everyday driving.
Just remember you can buy many things but not family members.
Thanks for giving sound advice.
