What the others said.
With the camper your looking at, your in 3/4 ton truck territory.
That 9000lb trailer at 37' in length is like a big sail. In windy conditions you may find the tail wagging the dog.
1/2 ton trucks don't have the curb weight to control a trailer that heavy.
I just traded out of a 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4, cc, 5.3/3.42 truck.
I had 1704 lbs of payload and a 9100 lb tow rating.
It towed my 6k lb Layton very well, but that rig is 23' overall, huge difference from what your looking at.
I always thought my silverado could handle another 1,000 of loaded trailer weight, but not much more. We are looking at the jayco 26bh, 7 or 7500 GVWR, over 29' long and i felt I'd be right up against my limits and i didn't like that.
With my family of 4, all gear in the cab, truck bed, hitch and tongue weights, i figured i had about 3- 400 lbs of payload left, maybe less.
You will likely be overweight with no gear in the trailer, or very close.
What is your payload limit from the yellow sticker on your drivers door jamb?
Your options are:
-to disregard the payload limit, which is unwise and could subject you to legal liability if you get into an accident. (Please don't do this)
- upgrade to a 3/4 ton truck that can safely handle that weight and length trailer
- buy a smaller/ lighter trailer better suited to your Chevy.
I'm very happy with my new 2500hd dodge and don't see myself buying another 1/2 ton truck again, so long as i can afford it.
Just my .02
