With that much wieght from the trailer, you would be better off with a gas 3/4 ton or smaller trailer. Your payload would most likely be exceeded as with most of the 1/2 tons that are out there. Dry wieght on my fith wheel is around 8500 or so according to spec sheets, But at the scales loaded up we are around 10k. We really don't haul water but with the options on the camper and all the stuff like bikes, games, clothes, ect the weight adds up quick. So just my take, I would go with another camper or upgrade tow vehicles if that's the trailer you really want or already have. Any gas 3/4 ton would pull that and handle it easily.
