Otherwise, I will stick with gas, but definitely a 2500 of some sort.

Do not plan to upgrade so 3500 is to big for me. If anything, I will down grade to something more off road.

Thanks again!

There ZERO difference in size between a 2500 and a 3500 SRW ZERO!
If looking at a diesel a 2500 will not have a lot of payload due to the maximum 10,000# GVWR. Getting a 3500 SRW will give you a VIN sticker with a much higher payload.

If you get a diesel, then you will want a bigger trailer, then you will run into exceeding your TV GVWR. If that doesn’t matter to you then sure a 2500 will work, until states start to scale RV’s.
