I think none of those should be hard on any dually build in last 10 years.
5800lb TC will take F450 or suspension reinforcement on F350.
I had several RVs in my life and choose TC as that was the cheapest RV (having truck for business already) I could have when we slow down our RV trips.
No other fees beside purchase price and keeping the water out.
Any other RV brings additional cost and headaches.
That said, we full-time in our TC for couple of months and neighbor invited us the her new 30' trailer.
The triple slide, with both rears open huge living room and kitchen with center island.
Not too many stick homes have such space.
Coming back to load on the engine- the biggest factor is always frontal area while weight at freeway driving plays small role.
My TC with basement and attic makes 13' high, so not that easy at 70 mph
