Lance 1181 on old Dodge dually??
I lost our new 1050S last week due to a shop/garage fir,(pretty traumatic). Were looking at a used 1181 which I know are heavy, I'm sure it'd be pushing 5000k fully loaded. I've got a 99 Dodge 3500 4x...

Yeah I just re-read that.... nevermind, your truck can do it. I have a '99 Dodge 4x4 dually myself and I carry a whole lot more!
So about hauling a camper with it...
The only weak link on the old Dodge is the stock automatic transmission.
Properly built, it can be one of the strongest transmissions available... but until you do a proper high-performance build, it's gonna be your limiting factor.
You also want a better-than-stock fuel lift pump (highly recommend Fass) and a fuel pressure gauge. It's extremely important to always know you have over 10 psi so your injector pump stays cool and doesn't starve. And do your injector pump another big favor by adding a quart of two-cycle oil when you fill up on fuel. It's better and cheaper than most of the additives on the market.
