Just for comparison purposes, I hauled a 37' 14,500 GVWR 5th wheel with a Chevy 2500 diesel. The Chevy hauled it really well. Your Ram will haul your lighter trailer with ease.

just spent 2 weeks Bullard's beach, am in Klamath now, and have to go back to California for more chemo, then back to coast
thanks all.
I do not know what everyone carries in back of truck, but seems we should all be close if hauling a 5er. and mine is only 30'. cardinal GVWR is 12,300
of course it is a 2001. probably heavier back then

No worries. That truck can pull way more than that. Where are you heading to?
