I have a similar situation. 2018 RAM 2500 MEGA 6.7 Cummins I got 2 weeks ago and Forest River Sierra 356RL, GVWR 14040. I've never had the tanks full traveling - but don't go far either. I look at it using the GAWR of 6000 and 6500. The SRW 3500 has a rear axle rating of 7000, same 6000 for the front, and payload near 4000 while mine is like 1800!?!?!. I weigh below both axle ratings on CAT scales, tires and wheels are capable of those weights, but yes, am above the 10,000. This 2500 is too similar to the SRW 3500 specs for me to believe it can't safely handle the load.. You traded a 2018 2500 for a duelly? wow, had to take a hit on that. But you'll certainly have a truck with nothing to worry about.
