What do you consider "struggling"?? If you don't like hearing the engine working at over 4000 rpms, then you need to look for diesels.
If you want to be maxed out on weights, a 25 series truck will get you down the road, but might have you really feeling the trailer more.
Moving up to a 35 series truck will give you more capacity, weight wise, but if it's a single rear wheel rig, you might still be maxed out for the size RV you have once it's packed up.
Getting a dually diesel that's even 10 years old will still probably fit the bill for weights on that size 5th wheel... That's what my folks have for a smaller and lighter 5th wheel and Dad says it's a pleasure to tow and no "struggles" at all... His 5th wheel is 12.5K GVWR, but Mom has it loaded to that weight easily! :)
Good luck!
