I would not buy a gas engine for hauling a heavy camper unless it's on flat ground.
Even when not towing, with a 3k lb camper on board, I'm happy to have the Cummins' power under the hood.
Having owned a Diesel engine for over 9 years, I cannot possibly imagine what it'd take to convince me to go back to gasoline unless the engine was 600+ cubic inches and gas was 25 cents a gallon.
It will work, but it will be slow and burn a LOT of fuel. And who goes on a short vacation?
I get 14-16 mpg with just the camper on. Towing the mileage is crappy. But if you got 10 with a gasser, that'd be a miracle, and that means 50% more fuel!
