Hi.
First thing: What Size of, and type of RV are you looking for or at?
Then find what will it handle ie: wieght, pulling and STOPPING?
Rule of thumb guide: up to 24 foot, a 1500 series should handle it well! 25 foot, and up a 2500 should be OK, 32+ foot, a 3500 is ok, after that a 4500/5500 is your last chance.
An HD really dosen't make that much difference.
Hope this helps?
