The diesel v/s gaser dilemma is very simple when you take pen & paper and do some calculation.
In all those years of thousands similar debates, I have seen only 1 member on this forum actually doing so.
All others argue for the sake of arguing.
Bottom line, it is as simple as "pay me now, or pay me more later".
Same with choosing SRW.
3050 lb "dry" camper is probably 3500lb sold with options. Add water, food, beer, clothing and you are at 4500 lb.
Boats don't have big tongue weight, but still might add another 2-400 lb on rear axle.
You can pay less now for SRW and pay later for suspension and wheels upgrade, but most of members going this route ended up buying dually after-all.
Pay less now, to pay more later.
Good luck with with your choice.
After having to do a 2500 to DRW re-purchase, I learned this lesson the HARD way ($$), I well concur...
