Beware that are campers and campers. Compare rear overhang of those campers above. The 9' camper has much less stuff and center of gravity way in front of rear axle, so the impact is spread between the axles.
The 11.5 camper has all the heavy stuff way behind rear bumper.
120 lb generator
60-90 lb of propane tanks
60-80 lb of batteries
holding tanks that can go > 400 lb
Jacks are heavier too.
All is way in the back, making the COG over the rear axle, or even as I scaled - slightly behind.
That can put rear stress on your rear wheels.
I did not have a chance to check side-to side WD, but in my camper all the heavy stuff is on passenger side, so suspect that can make unpleasant surprise as well.
