Or you could get a 3500 RAM with the Aisin tranny... every bit as good as the Allison and perhaps even better since it is true Medium duty tranny.

Not saying the Chevy/Allison SRW combo is bad.... it was our top pick(in the DRW combo) until a RAM 3500 CC CTD dually came across our radar at an unbelievable price... we snatched it up. They aren't your dad's RAM PU anymore. Love it. But we could have gone either way. Food for thought. I doubt you will go wrong with either one depending how you use it. For full time use, with your trailer fully loaded, I'd think hard about the DRW, if not and using it more casually then the SRW may be okay. Your call.

We use our DRW so far as a daily driver... no real issues to speak of, yeah we cannot go through the car wash or park in tight spaces but walking an extra 100 feet is not a big deal to us. Driving the wider truck took very little time to get used to. We will be full timing with a 3811MS (comparatively similar in GVWR to your trailer) when we finally pull the trigger soon, we would never consider towing it with a SRW truck. JMHO.
