When I bought my first used 5th Wheel, I had a half ton swb Chevy, 350, auto. Dealer said, "Put you some air bags on it, and you'll be good to go. I hitched up to that 29 foot Starcraft and drove 40 miles on hilly terrain to a lake, then home again. The truck ran too hot for me to feel good about it, and it was not a pleasant drive. Before I made another camping trip, I bought a 2500 diesel and couldn't believe the difference. Half tons have more capabilities now days, but I'd look at everything very closely before getting into it.
