Nice setup! Have fun with it.
Before freakin out about all the weight stuff, see of it fits, drop it on there and see how the truck likes it. Will keep you from buying stuff you may not need or help you decide what you do need.
Good advice but OP will need all the weight related stuff you have in your sig. Our first camper was an old siesta. No Bath. No holding tanks aside from 10 gallon fresh. One 5 gal propane and it stuck our 2500 down hard. We added all the same stuff you did. That was a 94 Dodge Ram std cab 3/4 ton Cummins with a Dana 80 rear axle. A very stout 3/4 ton truck.
Like you say sit the camper on the truck. That will tell you what you need to know.
