I have a 2015 Mobile Suites upgraded to an Elite but without the glass roof, 44 Lafayette. Loaded with supplies for 1 person, full H2O, it was weighed at 19,800lbs with 4000lbs pin weight. I tow with a Ram 3500 but it was purchased with max towing capacity, diesel, Aisin tranny,etc. If I remember correctly, the base 3500 did not have enough cargo capacity for the pin weight. There is a lot of variations/options possible which means we'd need to know the specifics of the truck intended.
If you mean base as in 3500 SRW I would agree but all the 3500 DRW's have 9,750# rear axle rating.

Thanks! I did know that. This is what I was commenting on.
" If I remember correctly, the base 3500 did not have enough cargo capacity for the pin weight"
I was not sure if he meant 3500SRW as a base model, I was more thinking he thought there were several weight ratings for the dually's. I clarified that all 3500 Dually's have 9,750# rear axle rating not just some. Now that I say that I don't remember if the MegaCab Dually has the same rating??? Seems like the newer ones do.
