So never use dry weights. Use max weights because it will get there. That is a 11,000 lbs camper with someplace between a 2200 and 2700lb pin weight. That is way north of most half tons. If you look in the drivers door there is a yellow and white sticker that says "the maximum weight of cargo and passenger shall not exceed XXXXlbs" I am guessing that number is not that high. Plus that is when the truck came off the line, a full tank of fuel, plus 150lbs for the driver. So anything you have added plus the weight of the hitch, gear, passengers, and any over 150lbs for you must come off that number before you hook up. Don't fall for the half ton towable gimmik. I used to have a 2010 Ram 2500 diesel and in all honesty that trailer is to big for that based on payload only.
