"We are FULLTIME in the LIGHTEST Arctic Fox TC, an 865, on a 2019 Duramax Dually..... Fully loaded we’re 1400 over GVWR...So you might wanna go to a Dually unless you wind up with a pop up TC....."
Even with the low 13klb gvw, you have to have the truck packed full of lead to be at 14,500lbs with a 865.
The good news is the truck should be 14kgvw and can easily handle the weight, but the fact that you have about 3000lbs of "stuff" in the cab and camper is staggering. But anything is possible.
However, at least the peanut gallery started with the need a dually comment.
Most people leave the lead bags and boxes of rocks at home when they go camping!
And the OP already has a truck. The truck they are asking about. No one will argue that a dually doesn't require less mods for the same load as a srw and that a dually is more stable. However that doesn't make a single wheel truck incapable or unsafe. Unless you read several articles about that too...
