Thanks Towpro....the GVW on this truck is 13,300 lbs. and I believe the payload is around 5,970 lbs. because it's a crew cab.
I guess that I'm mostly concerned with having enough power, I live in MI but will be traveling out West occasionally and planning a 6 week tour of AK next year w/o towing anything.

I had the Hemi 6.4L 3500 in a SRW and with the camper only (no towing) the best we ever saw was 7mpg hauling the camper around. Never again. I don't think I would want to tow anything along with hauling a camper on that whole package. We had the 3.73 rear end as well and you would definitely want the 4:10s

you will have one of the highest payload 3500's ram sells. it weighs less than the cummins. I have not heard anything bad about that motor. But motors that big can eat fuel.
the maintenance will also be cheaper.

I sit in the WALMART parking lots alot here recently driving MS DAISY around doing her grocery shopping.
Get to see the RV rigs coming and going and I see most of the DUAL Rear Wheels trucks are DODGE's...
Then I hear a diesel truck coming in and and look up and it most often the DODGE truck as well. They are always louder than the other brand diesel trucks...
None of these were Truck Campers however... Just trucks pulling big trailers...
