Any F-150 with any camper is pushing or exceeding the rear axle weight.*
As has been stated, most of us TC drivers try to keep the CoG low to get the best handling.
Do you know the actual, loaded axle weights of your truck with the camper? If not, you should get it weighed.
*) I know, that is a very general statement, and exceptions exist - there are very lightweight trucks and campers, and HD F-150 trucks, and weights and capacities can vary greatly. And I understand that the stated camper weights, payloads, and axle ratings are up for discussion, and only a scale will ever tell the truth, and only you can decide what is comfortable for you.
