Look at it this way as my son has a saying which fits the bill here: "Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it". If your concerned about the added expense of a diesel, go w/ the biggest gas engine and 4.10 gears. However, be prepared to get 6-7 mpgs. Course you may get higher mpg's w/ a lighter trailer. For the price difference between a 3/4 and 1 ton, get the 1 ton. Pretty much all SRW trucks are good up to 15,000 maybe 15,500 to which your now entering dually territory (some will argue here).
Do you want a reg, ext or crew cab? Long or short box? 4x4 or no? If you do some research you will find that most everyone agrees that 3/4 ton trucks run out of capacity w/o a trailer in tow, hence the 1 ton avenue. Having more truck that you may need at 1st allows you to tow w/ more ease, cover your azz in the event of a accident and if you ever upgrade RV's to a larger/heavier rig.
