Hi,
Not sure what your receiver is rated for, many times there is a sticker on the receiver for the load carrying rating. If it is not on the receiver, it may be in the owners manual or a towing manual for your brand/year truck. Check the rating. I'm assuming with this smaller camper, you are not using a weight distribution hitch and using a standard load carrying ball mount. The loaded tongue weight ratings on most trucks are lower when when not using a WD hitch.
Your camper is fairly light, but again not knowing the truck, adding the camper tongue weight, plus the bike and rack weight, may become over the 400# limit on the harbor freight adapter. Check and see if that will be a problem. You camper loaded could have a 300# maybe 350# loaded tongue weight assuming your camper is a 86 T1650 Saturn.
If you get past the load ratings on the HF adapter and the truck receiver, something to check is, will your bike rack with a bike/bikes, hit the camper in a turn? Try mocking up how far the bike will be sticking out to make sure you do not hit when you come close to max turn with the truck and camper normally.
Carrying bikes with a camper can be problematic pending what your truck is. I myself are on my 3rd method on how to carry bikes with the camper.
Hope this helps.
John
