Re weights..I carried that camper many thousands of miles on a 2001 Chevy 2500HD 6.0 gas, which is similar to your Dodge 2500. Although I was somewhat over on GVWR I was under on all the critical ratings with that combo. I have lost the weight tickets.

Fully loaded and wet for an extended trip the camper, stuff behind the front seats and in the wheel wells weighed in at 3300 lbs.
