What you have works for you. I also did not imply brakes were a sole condition for such decisions, I was talking about control, the last point I made stated in my opening statement. A heavy trailer wags the dog or at least has the potential to. Under those conditions... more truck is better than less.
And yes not everybody needs a dually... the math will determine what is needed, not ego.

I agree and sorry to rip your post. I just get tired of guys saying all this crap about the truck can't stop the trailer. The lawyers are going to get you. My Montana has a gross loaded weight rating of 13,000 Lb's. so I am at the limit of my truck but I dont carry more than I need on my trips to keep the weight down. I do however need to tell my wife if you don't wear that then it doesn't go LOL.
There were lots of things I took into consideration when getting my truck. I use mine for more than towing so a dually wasn't practical for me. I do however tow all over the country with mine so I am not a camper so to speak. I do believe that when a guy buys a camper he should be practical and get what he needs for the type of camping he is going to do. Like a guy that goes camping does he need a washer and dryer or a residential fridge. If you got the money than get the biggest baddest rig but you diffidently need the right equipment to tow it.Again I apologize for ripping your post.
