Since your buying a truck you should be buying a dually for this size camper plus the bikes. I went form a SRW 3500 Chevy to a dually with the same camper. I only had to drive out of the garage and down the driveway to notice a huge difference in handling and much less sway.
Adding weight to the front will certainly help balance out the back. 1 bike in the front and one in the back might be workable. If you do the math on the weight of the bikes and their distance from the axle it's a lot more weight than you think.

We are constantly stopping for a bathroom break, snack, change the little boys clothes, grab a drink, etc. I would hate to not be able to just hop in and out the door. Same goes for dumping the waste tanks and then going inside to wash my hands.
