Towing a 16,000 lb RV with a 2006 Duramax 3500 SRW should be a relaxing experience under almost all circumstances. I pulled about $15000 lbs with my 03 Duramax and found it lacking in certain conditions. The older Duramax engines were prone to over heating. The 5 speed transmission without an exhaust brake proved to be incapable of holding a 15000 lb trailer back on long steep grades. I think the 6 speed will do much better. I very much doubt if you will feel a need for duals. In my way of thinking 20k is not much money .... if you can easily afford it and think you'd be happier with the Arctic Fox buy it. 10 years down the road you might even get 5 or 6 of that 20 k back.
