Tow equipment
I am new to this forum but not new to RVing. We currently have a 40 ft diesel pusher and a tow car that we have used for the past 5 years. We want to down size and are really looking at a 30 ft travel...

You will want a TV with a greater tow capacity than 10K. General consensus on here seems to be that you want to be at 80% or less of the TV's rated towing capacity. That gives you some margin for the things not included in tow capacity ratings.
Most any 3/4 ton diesel should fill the bill. I would consider a SRW 1 ton however, just to get more TV GVWR. I tow a TT that is about 10K with a hitch weight of around 1200 lbs. That, with the rear cap and a few other things, maxes out the GVWR on my 3/4 ton Ram CTD. I have used an Equal-i-zer hitch on this TT and my previous TT. Have been very satisfied with its performance. Equal-i-zer and the Reece Dual Cam both seem popular on the forum.
Good luck on your search.
