Pretty much do what you are doing as I work at a ski hill on weekends.
Lucky enough to get plugins mostly. I have a 2017 Chev 2500hd with a camper that I built for winter.I have dual pane windows and they are worth it.Also I have foam for covers for the roof vents. I'am close to GVW but not over. I have dual 6 volt batterys and carry two 20lb propane cylinders. Just had my new Nokian L2 studded snows out on a icy road and can safely say they are way better than by KO2 tires which I had been running for years. Didn't feel ice at all. Other guys I patrol with said the road was quite slippery. Ditched a truck with KOs last year but that was on wet ice.
I do hear that the duallys are worse on bad roads.I would lighten the camper to stay under the GVW. In BC they do road blocks once in a while and weigh camper etc. Mostly Northern BC. It is a great way to ski being at the hill overnight. Also put airbags on and they help the ride with a camper or towing my trailer. I'am under the payload but they still help.
