I looked at that camper for my short bed F-250 and eventually went with an Arctic Fox 865 w/generator. It is heavier and the CG is directly over the rear axle.
My loaded weight is all on the rear axle, the front axle weight does not change loaded or empty. I went with heavier 18" Michelin tires and wheels. The bed is 6'9" on the Ford.
If you like the camper, you might want to reconsider the truck and find a Ford F-350 if it works in your budget. Get the heaviest upgrade to the suspension and a rear sway bar on whatever truck you end up with.
