Sounds like too much of an investment in the truck, to tow something that heavy around. Maybe a shorter rig would be easier to manage as a newbie, like backing into campsites, etc.
Felt the same way when I went from a pop-up to a TT, then TT to 5er's, then to longer 5er's...just takes practice...experience is the best teacher...
Bottom line, it depends on where you are in life, what your budget dictates you can spend. "IF" going with a heavier 5er, that was the reasoning on having a dually to tow it with...But again, only you know what you want and how much it'll be used...
My 5er's exterior length is 39' 9" long and I've camped everywhere I want to...A lot of campgrounds have pull thru sites...all it takes is a search on the internet to see if a campground will be a problem for you or not.....shorter rig, if it works for you might be a better idea if you're apprehensive about towing a longer, heavier 5er..
