Hey Kayteg, it’s all good. Please consider my sarcasm as humor. It’s in good spirit and I was just busting your chops a bit regarding your comments about how Europeans are more calculated in their purchases.
To the OP, if not searching for the “best” deal, time is short if you’re really on a 2 week clock for departure. Go get you a dually today, seriously they are all equally as capable and get some tie downs on it and go grab the camper. Only then once you have the 2 together will you be able to accurately figure out what you want/need to outfit it with for suspension and other things.
On the upside, gas powered duallies are rare unless you’re shopping the 2wd and or striped down work trucks. Vast majority are diesel so that’s a win in my book!
At the same time, it does not need to be “ideal” when you hit the road, presuming you have time on your trip. Since it sounds like you would not be doing the modifications or mechanic work your self, you can get shops anywhere to add some air bags or whatever you need as you decide you need it.
