When choosing a weight distribution system, you'll do so based on the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of the camper. The camper has a GVWR of 6000 lbs, so at most the loaded tongue weight would be 900 lbs, though it'll likely be less than that. A tongue weight scale like # e99044 is a quick and easy way to determine the fully loaded tongue weight, but there are other ways which are outlined in the help article I've linked for you.
The Curt # C17062 works for trailer tongue weights ranging from 800-1000 lbs, which might be rated too high. If your tongue weight is less than 800 lbs, I'd go with the lower rated # C17051. On this system, the sway unit is sold separately as part # 17200. The C17501 is rated for trailer tongue weights between 600-800 lbs, and would be a more likely fit.
The kits mentioned above don't include the trailer ball. For a 2 inch ball, use # A-90 or # C40008 for a 2-5/16 inch ball.
However, because campers like yours are more susceptible to wind and turbulence induced trailer sway, I'd definitely recommend going with a more effective sway control option. I'd recommend a system with a better sway control component like the Curt TruTrack. For a tongue weight of 800-1000 lbs, use # C17500 or if the tongue weight is less than 800, use # C17499 which is good for 500-800 lbs.
The kits mentioned above don't include the trailer ball. For a 2 inch ball, use # A-90 or # C40008 for a 2-5/16 inch ball.
