Truck Question - duallie or single?

I'm considering purchasing a 5th wheel to replace my Class A. It would be a full-timer rig, so it won't be hauled a lot. But I'd end up using the truck as a daily driver, or mostly so. Looking to get a 1-ton, as I'm looking for a more comfy 5er, which means bigger.

So, would a rear end with single wheels do OK, or is that a real no no, and should I go duallie?

Will all depend on what FW you get. I know people that full-time in a 32-35' rig, which would fit with most SRW trucks. I also know people who full-time in 40-42' rigs that are big enough to =require= at least an MDT if not an HDT. I'd say that, for full-timing use, you'll almost certainly need a dually, even if you don't plan on moving it very much, just for the extra payload capacity the duals will give you when you =do= move it. Now, if you can FT in a smaller rig, then an SRW could work. You'll really need to run some numbers on what FWs you're looking at.
