Recommendation needed for first camper trailer

Looking to purchase my first camper trailer, hoping to get some advice. My vehicle is a 2020 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Diesel, towing capacity is 5000lbs. My must haves are: Bunks, kitchen, full bath...

10-1 you are overweight on something (tow rating, payload, rear axle rating, etc...)

Can you do it anyway? Sure but it won't be a fun ride. Unless you are obsessive about keeping the weight down, you will likely be closer to the 6000lb GVWR.

And as cekkk said, you will be hitting the bump stops in the rear.
