3.42s and  diesel are fine unless you're towing heavy. Like 15-20klbs heavy. 
Ram doesn't even offer deeper gears on the srw trucks, so that says something about the power and transmission gearing.
I wouldn't worry about the 4300lb payload rating either. I haul that much on my 10 year old 2500 Dodge.
Dually will haul much more than that with ease and still be well within the rear axle and tire rating. With big campers like you're looking at, doesn't matter what the options on the truck are, you'll need some minor suspension mods anyway.
