Let's estimate the minimums with a 10k loaded 5th wheel RV. 1500 pounds of pin weight, 200 pound receiver, 500 pounds for people and cargo in the bed. Find a half ton with 2200 pounds of payload - I have never seen/heard of a GM NHT half ton with that much payload. Now realistically, I expect pin weight to be closer to 2000 pounds, so you''ll want more like 3000 pounds available. That's a 3/4 ton gasser or 1-ton diesel.
If your 9800 pounds is published dry weight, then you'll like be 11-12k pounds loaded with 2200-2500 pounds of loaded pin weight.
