Is a 3500HD enough for a 2800lb camper?, Do I need a bigger truck?

Trying to plan out a truck and camper combo. I'm pretty set on the Camplite 6.8, 2000lbs dry, 2800lbs wet. I also want to be able to carry a few dirtbikes, 600lbs for the pair on a hitch carrier. So that brings us to 3400lbs in basic gear. Plus humans, dogs, food, etc. Maybe an extra 500lbs? So 3900lbs total? The payload for a Silverado 3400 4x4 crew cab is 4074lbs. So we should be good off payload rating. But then I see that hidden away some trucks have much reduced payload weights for truck campers? It seems crazy that I need bigger than a 3500 series single wheel for the smallest truck camper...
