i'd be happy to help you with that.
For a hitch, the etralier # e98854 would be an excellent choice, with plenty of capacity for the pop up camper you mentioned. It would also serve as a handy attachment point for a hitch mounted bike rack like the Thule # TH934XTR or a cargo carrying tray like # S68FR.
You'll also need a trailer wring harness like # C56331, a ball mount like # D-28 and a # PC3 hitch pin. You'll also need a trailer ball like # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.
I've linked to install videos for the hitch and the trailer wiring harness for you to check out.
