Tundra Tundra camper compatibility

Hello All, I have what is probably a somewhat annoying question concerning camper weight and towing capacity. I have a pretty good feeling I'm ok but I'm no expert and I would really appreciate some insight from many of you that truly are experts. I have a 2015 5.7 Tundra Crewmax 4x4 with a towing capacity of 9800 lbs. I am strongly considering driving 5 hrs. away this weekend to purchase a 2015 Keystone Sprinter 299RET with a dry weight of 8153#s. From my understanding and math I think I'm good right? Any thoughts? Have I overlooked or misunderstood anything here? Thanks in advance for your help.
  • Have you looked at the payload capacity of your particular Tundra? They could be pretty low.
  • I should elaborate a little here... The vast majority of the time this camper will sit on my private land along the river. I will only pull it from there to my house (2 miles) and to winter storage (7 miles)
