Can I tow my new camper safely

I just bought a new camper with a UVW of 8130# towing with a 2008 chevy 1500 4x4 w/5.3L motor and 3.73 gears. Do you think I will be all right towing this?

No No No No! If you're having difficulty understanding, is the "N" or the "O" that's giving you trouble?
That 7500# tow rating is reduced by everything you put in the truck other than a 150# driver.
Your realistic tow rating is going to be less than 7000#. And you want to tow a trailer that grosses at 10,700#. Maybe you won't load that heavy but I suspect you will be close to 9500#.
"ONLY" 2500# over!
Don't do it.
