Your pin weight ratio from the factory was 17%; as you loaded the camper it's over 20%. Can you move stuff to the backend of the camper(or at least behind the camper axles)? Since the only place you are over is GVWR hitched that may help some.
The newer trucks have higher GVWRs and from what I hear higher yet is on the way. Lot's of competition in that area.
