Don't short change yourself on the Truck. While a 250/2500 may work for the 5er you're looking at now, if in a few years you decide to go bigger you'll be looking for a new TV for the bigger RV. We were only looking for a 2500 a few years ago, but couldn't find what we wanted, but the Dealer had a 3500 Diesel Dually with all the options we wanted and for a better price than ordering a 2500. Didn't need that big a TV at the time, but when we decided to move up to a 5er we weren't limited by our TV. Just something to think about since you don't have a TV yet.
Same thing happened to me. Went to the dealer in 2004 looking for a 2500, pretty well set on diesel power, but nothing that really pleased us. Found the 3500 in the color combo and equipped the way we wanted it, and invoice/sticker was only a couple hundred bucks more. While it was more than we needed for our previous TT (23' Komfort), glad we got the 3500 as it is needed for our current 5'er. I'm sure we will replace this TV in a couple years and replace it with a similar truck, albeit newer with higher tow and weight capacity ratings.
