Old-Biscuit was spot on; weigh your dad's truck and camper to find out what the real pin weight is. We tow a 2013 Cedar Creek 30RL with a 2010 Chevy Duramax 2500. Our actual pin weight, loaded and ready roll is 2,850 and trailer gross weight is 12,900.
We know we are close to the limits on our setup so we are careful that we don't have everything but the kitchen sink in the storage compartments. Also we switched to an Anderson hitch before our last trip. Besides being easy to get in and out of the truck, it saves us 100+ pounds in capacity.
Ultimately you will be the one making the decision. I am just pointing out that you can safely, and within specs, tow with a 2500.
