Weight of a truck camper

I know this question has probably been answered numerous times but I can't seem to find a thread on it
I have 1996 F250 Ford crew cab gas automatic. I am looking at a 1978 vanguard 9 foot camper. Sounds old but all redone. Anyhow the weight of the truck is 5460 lb/2400 kg
GVWR is 8800lb/3991kg
Front is 3440 lbs/1560 kg
Feat 6084lbs/2759kg

Can anyone tell me the max weight of a Amber I put on this truck
I appreciate your time as I am fairs the time buyer and just learning
