I was recently shopping for a new DRW and the only ones it came down to, after test driving all the available trucks on the local lots, were the 2019 Ram 3500 Longhorn or Limited with the AISIN, and the 2020 Chevrolet High Country/ GMC Sierra Denali, which were not available yet. I'd be curious to know why you ruled out the Ram 3500 - the 2019 is light years ahead of the 2018, and you might want to give it another look if you were basing your decision on last year's model.
I decided I'd rather risk the new CGI block and another CP4 pump (I came from a CP3 converted LML) than a new GM-designed, Allison in name only, 10 speed HD transmission in the first year of production. And that worked out, because I could buy the Ram now, where I'd have to wait for the Chevrolet/GMC.
I don't see a reason to move to a 4500 for RV duty with modern 3500 capabilities.
