I'll post when I have CAT scale answers.
For your entertainment, and assuming 500 beyond camper wet and 500 in the cab and Ford's curb weight specs, my final theoretical math shows 6,651 on the rear axle, 4,607 on the front axle, 11,258 total. Rear GAWR is 7,000, front 5,200, GVWR 11,000. Michelin 18" A/T2 are rated 3,640, the rims 3,590.
That suggests the rear tires will be at 91% capacity. Fresh/gray/black water shift and left/right imbalance likely imply more. I plan to diet now and shift to "lite" beer ;-)

If you have scales close enough (CAT scales offer free service if you don't need certificate) do it twice.
1 with normal stuff you'd take off from your house.
2. fill up rear holding tanks.
I bet you'll be for good surprise.
