With the camper in the truck and the trailer hooked to it,with a tractor on,I think you are going to be over the factory GVW allowed for the truck.Time you add up truck,camper,trailer,tractor,full fuel tanks,2 people,chains,binders and whatever else that gets thrown in. The scale guys don't care about air bags or overload springs. They have a book with the maximum allowable towing capacity,axle ratings,tire ratings etc. Around here in Md. with that rig,when you go over the scales,which you have to,you would probably pay down a good portion of the budget deficit.I would also check the rating of the rear axle.Some "3/4 ton" pickups have light rear axles and suspension, unless HD or trailer towing package was ordered .Even if not over, you are going to be real close to overloading even a set of 10 ply radials. With all that weight on the truck,plus a loaded trailer behind it ought to be a real squirrely unit to drive,especially under emergency stop or lane change conditions.
