I know this is probably a real basic question, but for a decent, self-contained TC that is going to be used for heavy boondocking (preferably with an inbuilt LP generator and other four season support...

Lots of well though through information here. My thinking is that all campers are heavier than advertised and even a light camper with the attributes that you are looking will be in the high 3000 to low 4000 lb range. My Wolf Creek which is advertised by Northwoods to be a 1/2 ton camper weights 3000lb loaded. I have beefed my 3/4 ton pickup truck up with stableloads, timberns, and new heavy duty Blistein shocks. I also have oversize tires albeit they are not 19".
I pretty much of the opinion that anything heavier than a 3000lb camper needs a DRW truck. I've had a DRW Ford when towing a fiver and know that they are a PIA when used for purposes other than towing. By that I mean using it for a daily driver.
Hope you get the information you have asked for to make an informed decision.
