Start with determining the payload of your truck. It's on a sticker on the driver side door. That will be the limiting factor, how much load the chassis can haul, not some theoretical "towing capacity". Start thinking about a camper with a UVW under 6000 lbs.
Mine started with a brochure weight of 4650, an as built yellow sticker weight of 5025, and a loaded weight with two 250# dirt bikes, but no water, of 6740. That gave it a tongue weight of 780# and put the rear truck axle within 50 lbs. of its weight limit.
