Welcome to the rv lifestyle! Enjoy!
Just for safeties sake you need to look at the payload for your truck.
That rv will have a pin weight of 3000-3200+ lbs (average 20-25% of the GVWR), most 3/4 ton diesel trucks don't have that kind of payload, especially older models.
Yes! That truck is more than capable of "moving/towing" that rv all day long without breaking a sweat, but is it able to safely "carry" the weight of the rv pin weight + 100-200+lbs for the hitch + the weight of everything/everyone in/on that truck, which all comes off the available payload.
Not trying to dampen your enthusiasm, just be sure rving is safe for you & your family!
