I'm looking to purchase a Grand Design Solitude 384GK. The GVWR is 16,000 lbs. UVW 13,400 with the hitch weight of 3,150. My truck is a 2011 3500 Mega Cab dually, 4x4 ,3.73 gears, with the 6.7. Doing some homework of the tow rating of my truck am I seeing right of 2,600 payload and 12,950 Max. trailer? Seems a bit light for a 1 ton dually. At those numbers the Solitude 384GK will be to big for my truck.
Hard pill to swallow but it sounds like its time to upgrade. A 2015 2500 SRW has more towing capacity than your truck but it won't quite handle the RV you have listed...a 3500 will in dually form...the pin weight is what gets you to the dually.
