For one if you need to worry about your hitch weight you need a bigger truck.

Your truck will safely tow a RV weighing about 12K loaded.

I hauled a 32.5' Avion Platinum without air bags with my 98 2500 RAM 4X4 the truck sat perfectly level and towed very nice. I knew I was at my safe limit. When the wife wanted a bigger RV the bigger truck was needed.

RAM's of that era were very under rated. My combined weight was 20.5K.
