Lots and lots of heavy options, big water tanks (-150 gal fresh, grey, black), etc, etc.
Definitely OVERLOADED!!
Are you kidding??? I have 6k pin weight and that places me right at my SAE RAWR of 9,750#. NOT hardly overloaded at all.
5er pin weight is much easier on the truck frame vs a truck camper. The load transfers almost directly down into the springs and axles. Very little bending force in the frame.
A monster truck camper with 1000-1500lb 6-8ft behind the axle gets rocking, it can put drastically more bending force on the frame.
That Camper simply did NOT cause that damage. The OP has been silent on what happened. I will bet one of the BIG speed bumps were the cause.
OP, what say you?????????????
