Dry weight numbers are mostly fictional. It looks like you will be really close to the 'Burb's limits when loaded for camping. Have you considered a heavier duty tow vehicle? One ton passenger vans are very capable. Plenty of room, and cargo capacity to spare.
We have looked at them, but ultimately we decided on an SUV, which means Suburban, Tahoe, Expedition and their various Yukon and EL/Max variations since this will be replacing our primary family vehicle. Full size vans just don't have as many creature comforts unless you spend a lot more money.
The camper would be the thing to change if we decide this is too much for the vehicle.
