Buy the 2500. Get a 3500 SRW if you think you will ever want a much larger camper. Any modern truck set up for towing from the factory will be far and away better equipped than a truck from 20 years ago. In my opinion, set up from the factory would include:
tow package, tow mirrors, built in trailer brake control, provisions for a 5th wheel hitch if you ever want one, dual alternators if you plan a big battery bank for camping without hook-ups, long bed, dual tanks if available, lower axle gears, limited slip or locking rear axle, whatever tires and wheels offer the highest axle weight ratings. This last one might mean skipping the bling wheels for real truck wheels.
