I have some options for you, however the only way to use your weight distribution system would be to upgrade your receiver hitch. I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2", # 75237. This hitch will have a weight rating of up to 675 lbs for tongue weight and a gross trailer weight of 4500 lbs or 5000 lbs with weight distribution. This will give you the 2 inch receiver that will give you many options for bike carriers or cargo carriers as well as will fit your weight distribution system.

I strongly recommend that you not use the adapter you mentioned for your weight distribution system. Adapters reduce the tongue weight capacity of a hitch by 50%. That would put your hitch receiver in a place where it cannot handle the weight of your camper. You cannot safely use weight distribution with any 1-1/4 inch hitch and adapter. The adapter and hitch will fail, so to use a weight distribution system you need to upgrade your hitch receiver to a Class III-2 inch.

You can however add a sway bar to your trailer with or without your weight distribution system. I recommend the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit, # 83660. To use this system without weight distribution, you will need the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts - Class III and IV, # RP26003, if you choose to upgrade the trailer hitch. You can also use this sway control system on your current 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver by using the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 1-1/4" Drawbars - Class II, # RP26005.
