Dual rear wheel or single rear wheel?

Hello all!! Brand new here to the forum. I have just purchased and brought home our new 5th wheel(with a buddies truck)and I am getting mixed reviews on which setup to get. Our 5th wheel is a Palomino Columbus 42" 7" 2,600 tongue weight,13,300 "dry", 16,600 +- laden. I have my eye on a '17 RAM 3500 4x4 with the 6' 4" box, SRW, with the Cummins 6.7. I have had several people tell me I NEED a Dually, it will ride better and be more stable, which makes sense but, is it really "necessary"? I am not ready for a DRW due to reasons of my own, however, if I am kidding myself, I would like to hear it from others who tow 5th wheels. Thanks!

You will need the max GVW package of 12,200 on the megacab. Dealers don't always order these they'll order with bling and skip the important stuff.
You didn't say if this is a weekend/vacation rig or fulltime. If the former you most likely not load to the max GVW of the trailer, so you should be good on pin wt.
If the latter I would go with the DRW as the pounds will then add up. You are on the cusp now.
