Question

Direct quote: "The camper is huge and heavy. We've pulled it with my 2009 3/4ton Duramax w/airbags, we also have a 2010 F350 single rear wheel diesel and a 2009 F350 dually, all pull it fine. Pin weight is about 4000-4500# Full loaded weight around 20,000# Trailer has 3 - 8000# Dexter axles."

Guess my SRW Dodge will handle it fine ;)...

The seller has'nt got a clue about weights.  Triple axle 20K trailers DO NOT have 8K axles.If, If, he has 4-5000 lb pin weight, that trailer is a whole lot heavier.

Nada lists the weight at 17k dry but the rig has a bunch of heavy add ons. I bet it weighs at least 21k.

So I'm guessing they are pushing 20% or better pin weights as some customers will pull with a small semi.  20% of 20000 is 4000 BTW
