That's just as far as Oregon's state law is concerned, and as far as I (an individual human with no legal background) was able to find in a few hours of research.
Obviously, manufacturers publish payload ratings, GVWR, etc. While I didn't find anything in Oregon's laws about these other measurements, I know if got into a car accident with someone driving overloaded, all those measurements would come up in court. While they wouldn't guarantee any particular outcome, they would add to evidence if there was a case there to begin with.
For those reasons, and for the safety/longevity of my truck, I'm limiting myself to the GAWRs front and rear as determined by my actual truck and the actual camper I buy (or very close to them... I won't sweat being a couple hundred lbs over). The dealer I'm working with will let me "test drive" for this purpose (that is, I'll decide on a camper and before completing the deal, I'll get to verify the axle weights).
