We fulltimed in a 40' 5th wheel that for most state/national parks, especially wooded areas, we were too long/tall to manuever through their maze of boulders & low hanging limbs to get their so called "big rig" sites. If that's where you plan to spend a lot nights unhook the RV & drive through BEFORE attempting to camp there, could save yourself a lot of grieve.
As for the truck, we had a diesel dually & wouldn't of wanted any less for our length & weight. But there are LOTS out there with 350/3500 srw towing as big or bigger. The only sure way to know is head to the scales with your driver's door sticker info, RV manufacturers GVWR from the sticker on YOUR RV & FYI dry weights for RVs & max tow weights for trucks are totally useless info to you.
Unfortunately for the rest of us on the highways with them there's a bunch of clueless folks out there towing that TH, & bigger, with 250/2500s & "can't tell it's even back there!" or "the dealer said I could tow anything on the lot with my truck!".
