The 5.7L has plenty of power as it is used in the 1-tons. Your RV limit will likely be payload. If you have a 2006+, check the driver's door for the Tire and Loading sticker for as equipped. That has to support your family, a bed full of camping gear, and trailer tongue weight.
Example:
7000 pound loaded TT
900 pounds of TW
500 pounds of people
That's already 1400 pounds with an empty truck bed.
Fuel usage is the same for most gas engines, 7-10mpg.
