I've towed 7300 lbs behind my Disco in in the mountains, but it was in a 16' stock trailer. I've also pulled 6000 lbs worth of 26' travel trailer both with and without the distribution hitch. Lemme say, the hitch is necessary. Even with the hitch that's not a fun haul. It can be done, but it's not fun. I also had my Disco set up with trailer brakes (necessary, more than the hitch) and dual transmission coolers.
How far are you planning to travel with it? Does your camper have a slide? Another thing fighting you is the 4.0 motor. Mine had a pretty well hopped up 4.6.

I've towed a D2 on a dolly for a 2.5hr trip, and a D1 on a dolly for nearly a 4.0hr trip with my 99 D2. I drove with OD off, and my temps were perfectly fine. Just don't expect to accelerate quickly! People don't give LR's credit when it comes to towing, but they can get the job done.
I've already seen several Jeep Gladiator accidents with very big trailers because they think it's just like any other 60K pickup truck out there and it can haul anything, sadly that isn't true lol.
