Hey Ed, the camper shell makes it a bit trickier to pick out a WD system but we can still help. Basically your loaded tongue weight is going to be the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded plus the weight of your camper that is behind the rear axle of the truck. Thankfully the weight range of the Fastway part # FA94-0800 is wide enough that it would encompass the loaded weight of what you have so it would work great.
This system has a range of 400 to 800 lbs.
