The majority of single rear wheel 1-tons ride the same as 3/4 tons. There are few difference historically over the years. What is clear is the rear axle/spring rate is significantly higher for the 1-ton at a marginally small extra cost. The 2014 Ram HD is an exception.
If you are considering a 5th wheel RV, I highly recommend at least a SRW 1-ton. The 3/4 tons tend to run out of payload (especially the diesel equipped ones) at even 10k RV weight.
I disagree with the bear. You have an advantage of planning the purchase/selection of both the TV and RV. This way you can learn the compromises and limitations of both markets and make the best choice for you.
If you want a travel trailer, pretty much any late model 3/4 ton will do very well.
