We have a 2014 Alpine 3500RE with 4 slides and Ram 3500 4x4 SRW megacab with airbags and Bilstein 4600 shocks. My DW will not drive a dually due to a backing up "incident" years ago. We have towed about 10k miles so far (one trip CA to TX 5200 mi) and TV did great. We tow at 62 mph which appears to be the sweet spot. Things get unsettled at 70 mph and above so a dually might be the best bet if you want to go fast but fast not advised. Highly recommend the SRW if you don't drive like a crazuy man!! BTW B&W companion hitch and 2680 pin weight and 13.5 k lbs loaded weight.
Please to not confuse the issue for the OP with your smaller lighter trailer. With a CC of only 1880, the OP will be pushing his/her 15.5K GVWR most of the time.

????????? My 5ver is 39ft and GVWR is 15,500 and UVW is 12,500 which is the difference between OPs Alpine and mine. My loaded weight is about equal to his empty weight. I was giving OP a realistic example of a 3500 SRW pulling an Alpine.
