Thanks for the replies so far!
We suspect the slide-in camper is a 1994 Lance 480, but haven't yet been able to find the serial number of model number anywhere on the unit itself. My best guess based on old spec sheet brochures would put it at ~2500 lbs, but yes, definitely time to hit the scales!
I don't have access to the truck or camper right now, but will check on the axle rating and exact payload when I do.
Based on comments so far, I'm thinking I'll try a much better / thicker sway bar first and see how far that gets us since that seems minimally invasive. And then we'll consider something more robust. Timbrens look very promising if the sway bar isn't effective enough on its own...
I don’t believe a heavier swaybar is going to make a big difference. The Timbrens will move the suspension point of contact farther outboard making the load much more stable. They are easy to install and much less expensive than the larger swaybar
