Instead of asking small bits and pieces which could be taken with wrong contexts, I've decided to post our potential plan. Hopefully you guys can tell me if this will work or not. I'll get the budg...

Can't quite wrap my head around the idea of refusing a dually
Yet, you see it all the time. "I want the big heavy camper but I don't want a dually because I've heard this rumor and that legend and the other myth about dually trucks and how hard they are to drive and how they won't fit through drive-throughs and you can't park them and they give you cancer and they eat babies and blah blah blah."
It's all a word that starts with a B but is not allowed on this site. Yes, BULLPUCKEY.
When you finally convince someone, or they convince themselves, on a dually, it's worse than listening to an ex-smoker.
What we want here is a minimal camper (assuming we go with the original path rather than the one mentioned about pulling a multi-purpose station which I will look further into). If a SRW truck can handle the payload, do you really need to go dually? I agree if the payload is an issue, then dually is the answer.
We found a camper that has the dry weight of 1837lb and theoretical wet weight of around 2600lb. Dodge Ram 3500HD 8ft bed has max payload of 4400lb but if we buy a loaded one, it will probably bring it down to 4000lb. I think weight wise, there is no issue here... Please do prove me wrong if that is the case though, I'd rather find that out now and get a dually... :)
