With a 1/2 ton truck, you would be better off with a trailer. You would only be able to put a very small camper on the truck in your picture.
Your signature is confusing, you state that you had a F-150 dually,no such thing. Then you state that your truck and camper setup is F-150, with a Lance 1191. An 1191 is firmly in dually territory, dry weight is 3505lbs, so about 4500lbs at least, especially as you say it is fully loaded. -------------------- 2011, F-350,CC,DRW,6.7,4WD

Check out the sites below.
First one will help you find your towing capacity. Copy the link below and after the = sign put in your VIN. Depending on your year it may not work, but it's worth a shot to check. This will show the original window sticker. It worked for my 2008 Expedition.
