Default I have a 2013 silverado and have some questions on towing

i posted in wrong forum before lol. i have a towing capacity of 5500 LB. the camper weighs 4750 but by the time you add water the family and all camping junk im looking at 6000 to 6200 Lb. It will only be pulled on short trips (less than 100 miles) but the roads are hilly. should i be worried?

How about a little more info,
what size engine 5.3 or 4.8 V6 , V8 ?
Do you have a towing package?
Are you towing with a bumper hitch or a receiver?
what is the tongue weight of the trailer?
Does it have trailer brakes and do you have a brake controller?
