2012 Ram 3500 Dually.
Pulls my 5'r with ease and comfort for the driver. In a tight campground, backing can be a challenge, but careful planning and some experience smooth's the way.

We recently traded in our 2015 ram MC 2500 for a 2017 f450. 1000x better! Our drive from Las Vegas to San Antonio was comfortable and stress free. We are glad we made the trade. Even with our trailer lifted 4 inches (originally because the ram was lifted) it rides pretty level with the f450.
Here is our setup. Pulled 3800 miles in 2016 and camped 50 nights. B&W Companion hitch and a 51 gallon RDS aux tank/tool box combo in the bed. All are covered by my Access rollup cover when unhooked. About 26-28K total depending how we are loaded up.
I have a 32 ft V-lite by Rockwood, was towinging it with a 2013 F-150 5.0 and towed it very well but a little unstable when passed by a semi. I now have a 2016 F-250 6.2l havent had a chance to tow it yet . my F150 was getting 9.5 to 10 mpg when towing.
We tow a Cedar Creek 36 RE with a full size T2000 Kenworth converted to tow a 5th wheel with a Smart Car on the deck of the truck. Some say overkill but it works for us.
Sorry to resurrect an old post, but do you have to possess a CDL in order to drive the tractor or is the CDL only required when you get into split truck weights with full trailers?

I do hold a cdl but our truck is titled as a rv in our home state so no cdl is required, I will include a couple of links for more info on using wwhat e refer to as HDT's for towing. Home | Heavy Haulers RV Resource Guide Escapees Discussion Forum
