My experience: I had a F250 when I bought my 2008 (35’) Newmar camper and I was not worried. On the way home I had two busted belts on my rear tires and had to purchase two new tires. Once I got home I weighed my empty camper and found out that my rear tires were 250 lbs from their max rating. When you load your rear tires that close to max rating your truck is what people call mushy, because the sidewall of the tires cannot support the weight. I move up to a GMC 3500 dually and all my problems are gone. When you start pulling 35’+ campers you really need the stability of a dually.
