Per my experience 11" campers have center of gravity above the axle, so all its weigh will go on the rear.
Can your tires handle it?
When I was buying my 11' Fleetwood I had the same dilemma as I had SRW flatbed.
Even I bought new, highest weight rating tires for the trip, driving via scale gave be wet back.
Month later I bought dually.
For comparison my camper rating
per manufacturer 3800 lb
empty and winterized when I bought it 4300 lb.
Now with our stuff and water (empty holding tanks) 5600 lb.
Where da heck those lb are coming from?
I still would like to add a case of beer.
