My second question is: is it reasonable to expect my 2011 Silverado 3500HD CCLB dually diesel to handle a camper and a 5000 pound cargo trailer?
Depends on what you get for a camper.
Considering you're used to a giant 5th wheel, you probably won't be happy with a basic 8' camper even "roughing it" for 4 days. You'll probably fall in love with one of the 6000lb triple slide behemoths.
If you can settle on one of the middle ground campers, no problem.
Have you considered what you will do with the camper while you're wintering in the 5th wheel?
