Hardside with bathroom is impossible to do and stay within payload on a half ton truck. Your only option is to completely ignore any ratings, add a few suspension enhancements, maybe upgrade the tires, and hit the road.
Heck, even Ford is saying it's okay to overload their F150 trucks with hard side truck campers: https://www.livinlite.com/ford/ford-truckcampers.htm
If you've got a manufacturer saying it's okay, then why bother worrying and preaching doom and gloom?
...and yes, I'm aware I carry a 1600lb popup in a 1 ton dually. Not because I think I need a dually for that size camper, but because I use the dually for other purposes that are nunya bizness.
