Sounds like I will be buying a dually soon. There are four campers here with similar 5ver's and they all have SRW 250's or 2500's and they all four claim those are sufficient. I appreciate everyone's guidance, you guys are the experienced ones. Some of you may have made suggestions to me 3 years ago when I bought the 2012 Ram Cumm. SRW, matched w the Arctic Fox TC. BAck then, the opinions were about a 50/50 split on a SRW or DRW; I opted for a SRW and after never felt secure in that top heavy rig despite adding numerous expensive suspension upgrades and even 19.5" wheels and HD tires.
So, I would rather be safe and comfortable with a DRW, than face the insecurity of a SRW, despite the expense. I only wish I could find a decent used truck that will handle the job effectively, since this new 5ver tipped the scales of our budget.
Thanks for all the comments!
Not sure why your mileage is so bad...I have the truck in my sig and get 16-17 empty on the hiway and around 11.5 towing my larger toy hauler loaded with 2 bikes. Don't drive around town much but it will drop to around 13 when in town unless I'm running steady at 45mph then it will do around 20mpg!
You musta gots a good one!
