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.

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.

Second one will give towing capacity based upon your basic truck then you have to adjust for options.

Your truck looks great!
