Our 2002 F-250 PSD weighed in at 6966 lbs with two humans and two dogs, some tools in the supercab, fuel and our coffees.
Front axle was 4,232
Rear axle was 2,734
The 8' camper we purchased has a dry weight of 1,900 lbs.
Loaded for a trip I expect it weighs about 2,500 lbs. We haven't weighed it yet though.
Yup, I know ... we're over the truck's GVWR. Even so, the truck handles the weight well. We do a lot of off-road and gravel roads. Haven`t had any issues.
Interestingly the truck carries the camper better than it pulls our 25' fifth wheel. With just the fifth wheel the truck is under its GVWR by a couple hundred pounds. Burns less fuel with the camper than the fifth wheel too.
The truck manages the fifth wheel very nicely but it works harder with the fifth wheel, without a doubt.
