Don't worry about the truck. It will be just fine for a 3-mile slow-speed drive, even if the tires are grossly underinflated.
I would build some "deadman" stands to prop the wing and cabover on that front corner, to take some of the weight off and stabilize things. If you've ever seen or used a "deadman" to hold drywall up to a ceiling, you'll know what I mean: A braced T made from 2x4's. These would be jammed under the wing and cabover on that front corner at an angle so they clear the truck. The T spreads the load out across the edge of the camper so nothing gets crushed.
