Rob,
Your Nissan should be just fine, it's all about driving within the limits of your vehicle. You will have to go slower than a big vehcle with a bigger engine, but they will use more fuel too.
Focus on keeping the weight down inside the camper trailer,
tyres at correct pressures, no roof rack. Throw out all the gear you don't really need, put heavy items inside your vehicle just forward of the rear axle if you can (with a cargo barrier of course).
Diesels will work hard all day, just don't thrash it under load, take it easy. You've got six months!
Have a good trip.
