You really need to scale you truck with the camper and in particular, look at your rear axle loading. I'm sure you are good on the axle itself, but I bet your two rear tires and wheels are overloaded. Ford makes no OEM SRW truck wheel with a load capacity of greater than 3,525 lbs each. Also, only a few load range E tires are above this rating.

anybody out there tow with a SRW long bed diesel with a 915? How does it do overall? I've seen lots of pictures of DRW trucks with the giant campers and towing larger trailers with the super truss hitches. I was hoping to go the smaller route with a 915 size camper and very short extension for towing all with a SRW truck. Any similar set-ups out there?

You're right, I didn't account for any weight of passengers, which again adds to my problem. Like others have said, I also agree that the curb weight of the truck is low based on the options i would most likely put into it.
Sorry to drag this discussion about the axle rating out, but just so I understand, a Ford Sterling axle found under an F-350 SRW has a 9,750 lbs rating, meaning I would not expect overload related failure up to that number. Ford only rates it up to 7,250 for whatever reason they choose?
It seems like a few guys out there have more than the 7,250 on their F-350 SRW axles and with appropriate suspension and tire/wheel upgrades seems to be handling it okay.

Your GRAW is likely limited by the stock tires. Upgrading tires, possible to a 19.5" rim and tire would help.
However, yes, you're asking a lot of the truck. Diesel engines are heavy, 4 x 4 is heavy, campers are heavy. I have a dually and with my TC and boat I'm over my GVWR by more than 2,000 pounds.
