F150 pulling near it’s max
First time poster, but not new to towing. I have a 2015 f150 eco boost, non max tow. I regularly pull near my max, but that is with being able to set the load on the trailer to perfectly distribute...

Since you are going to be mostly on flat ground weight really isn't the issue, frontal area wind drag is. This camper may have a lot more wind drag than your boat. Also, campers seem to get a lot more wind induced sway than boats and have electric brakes instead of surge brakes. Since you are willing to slow down some that can help a lot with the wind drag. Beware of sway and do you have a brake controller for the electric brakes? Remember that a light touch on the electric brakes will get most sway under control if that becomes an issue.
My boat has a massive t-top and a huge bow flare, but it ties nicely. It’s trailer does have electric brakes, since I don’t like surge. My work trailer also has electrics. I installed a tekonsha p3 when I bought the truck back in 15. The truck has the electronic sway control, although I have no idea how it works.
Also, it has load range E tires. I replaced the factory ones at 10k since they had a lot of sidewall flex.
