Expert Reply:
The Rack'em Trailer Dolly part # RA20 is rated for tongue weights up to 500 lbs. so while you will be close to the limits at 495 lbs. you can certainly use it. It specifies that the camper weight does not matter only the tongue weight. This happens to be the model with the longest handle on it as well at 54" the next closest is at 43" so it will give you the leverage you need to maneuver the heavier camper more easily. Of course hills and uneven terrain can be pretty tough trying to move 3744 pounds of anything so use caution.
Check out the video I have attached for you on the dolly.
