Your camper is not too light for a weight distribution system and the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution item # RE34FR will work on your trailer. This system works with trailer's that have a tongue weight between 200 lbs and 600 lbs. The built in sway control will help keep your trailer in line with your tow vehicle when you are going down the highway and get passed or make a sudden move.

These system includes a 2" shank and a 2" hitch ball. I have linked a review video below.
