Boy that is going to be close. While you did not give the year and cab type and engine size ect.. I will try to show you how to figure your self.
Lets assume you have a 2002 F 250 SD super cab 4x2 with a 5.4L V8 with 3.73 rears
use this link to follow along...
Link
Scroll down to F250 Base Curb Weight
This truck has a GVWR of 8800 lbs
It weighs 5585 lbs Gives you a total payload of 3215 lbs.
You state that your 5585 lb truck will have a 3000 lb slide in camper for a total of 8585 lbs. So you just do make it so far.
Now scroll to F250 trailer towing.
You will add a 6000 lb gross trailer. The gross trailer for this truck is 7900 lbs. So far so good. This truck has a GCWR of 13500 lbs.
So lets add it up truck and camper8585 lbs + 6000 lb trailer = 14,585 lbs
You are over your GCWR by 1085 lbs Sorry no you can not with this truck.
So now do this with your truck and see how you make out. If you come in under then you will have to worry if you have proper weight on each axle. With a slide in camper and tougue weight I would think you would have to much weight on the rear axel with no way to shift some of it to the front axle.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
