In the 5th wheel RV world, payload is likely the limit. 3/4 ton gassers have about 3000 pounds available. That is about a 2000 pounds for pin weight or 10k loaded 5th wheel. That's not much for a toy hauler. 3/4 ton diesels are more around 2000-2500 pound of payload, so their paylaod is exceeded even lower 5th wheel weight. That's why some people have recommended going straight to the 1-ton. New it costs $400-1000 for the extra 1000-1400 pounds of payload.
You really need to narrow down that RV. Toy haulers can get very heavy as the frames are heavier to handle the weight of the toys the carry. Plus they tend to have larger fresh water tanks and fueling stations.
