How far are you planning on moving this trailer?
I'm pulling a 15,000 lb. toyhauler with my 2001 Dodge dually. I simply don't see any issues with you pulling that trailer. Especially if you're only talking a one-time short distance tow.
The only real problem could, read could, be if you are under licensed for the combined weight, i.e. truck and trailer.
It would be roughly 180 miles or 300 KM here in Canada. As for licensing, where I live, we don't really have those "requirements" here for recreational RV's. Since we have not ventured anywhere else in 20 years, it's safe to say we won't be anytime soon.
Do you have to be careful how you load it? Is 15,000 lb your max GVWR of the trailer or what it weighs loaded? I'm just concerned that with a SRW truck and 17" E rated tires, I may be too close. I've also been towing a 7500 pound 33 foot trailer and don't want to go back to struggling to pull it but wat be be WELL within the safety limits
