What is the payload of your 2500? Adding 1800+ pounds tongue weight not counting the hitch is quite a bite out of most three quarter ton truck's payload. Torklift makes an aftermarket receiver that can go up to 30,000 pounds towing and 3000 pounds hitch weight. They also have a weight distribution system for that receiver. Curt and others also make aftermarket receivers.
A few tight, old, campgrounds might have limited space for the truck and toyhauler but some campground planning ahead should alleviate that issue. Of course, how well you are at backing and maneuvering the trailer is also important.
Another option is to acquire a cabover camper and tow a 16-18 foot enclosed trailer for the toys. Just something to think about.
The payload is listed as 2706#. I need to weigh the vehicle with a tank of gas to see where I'm at. I will mainly be using this trailer for just me, my wife and daughter to camp. Bringing along kayaks, bicycle etc. The other time it will be used for my BBQ team. With all of our cookers, food and beer for a weekend competition, I can't see us putting more than a 1,000 lbs in the trailer, so would I really be over 1,800 lbs of tongue weight?
