Nice truck & camper, it looks like it will be a good setup.
You should be good with the airbags, you just have to drive easy.
Having that much weight on there definitely changes the handling/cornering characteristics of the truck, as well as taxing on the brakes.
It can be scary in a panic...
I like the airbags. I use firestone ride-rites. They are easy to install, you can leave the rest of your suspension stock, and when the truck is unloaded, you just leave about 5-10 psi for a stock ride.
When you load down your truck for a trip, you just air them up enough to level out the ride...

I finally decided to let go of my Baja Bug, and plan on replacing it with a small dual sport bike like a Yamaha Tw200 or XT 250.
I'm asking $ 2,200.00 or trade for good condition Yamaha TW200.
The Baja has served me well for many camping trips. I also get lots of thumbs up while driving...
I know you asked about a vacuum, but have you considered using compressed air to blow out the dust ?
Something like this would work with an air tank or compressor.
I like it. I have a similar setup and am looking at getting a larger hard sided cab-over camper for my trailer, as my family has just about outgrown this popup. I would think the dually tires would make it more stable but what do I know. Were all here to learn and share ideas right ?
The weight...
Im looking at the TW200 because Im new to riding, want something small & light enough to load in my pickup by myself, or on the rear hitch carrier on camping trips. TW200 has a low seat, wide tires, and sips fuel.
Im not looking at it for a commuter or freeway riding.
Mostly a bike to take...
I'm not sure what brand it is. It's an 8ft Fiberglass Boat with 2 bench seats. It was probably made in the 70's. It works great with a small outboard or trolling motor. Not the most stable platform but works well enough for 2 people and minimal gear.
You could also pick up an electric radiator fan, from a small import. Cheap at the wrecking yard. There 12v, pull alot of air, and don't use that much juice. You couuld easily wire it into a 12v switch to power.
You could try paracord, or that grip tape wrap stuff for golf clubs. They also make that camo wrap for rifles, etc, that sticks to itself, it makes for a cushened grip.
