Nabs....wow you are new! Lol
The I-6 Diesel your referring to is a Cummins and it's an inline 6 (hence the I-6) and is a very capable Diesel engine. It will pull your new camper like it's not even there. Same engine is in the 1 ton trucks pulling upwards of 20,000 pounds. Doesn't matter if the truck your looking at is a 2500 or 3500 as either will work with the camper you bought. And you shouldn't count all 3 tanks weight as you shouldn't be towing with tanks full with the exception of the fresh water tank on occasion. Dump your grey and black tanks upon leaving the campground. If dry camping I suppose it's possible, but you would dump them asap. I don't dry camp often so maybe others will chime in there.
