Just went through all this in another tread. The dry weight of your truck means nothing, nor does the dry weight of the camper. What matters are the loaded weights of each when ready to tow. Load up your truck with all the people that will be typically going with your hitch installed
, full of fuel and anything else you mite take with you in the truck bed (generator/fire wood etc.). Now go to a scale and get your weights.
Depending upon which cab you have (reg/crew etc.) will determine the payload of your truck. Most do not have reg cab trucks. If yours is a crew cab the payload is in the 2000 lbs range.
With fuel/people/hitch/ wood etc, you are going to eat up maybe 1/2 that leaving you 1000 lbs for pin weight. Not any where near enough for a 14K fifth wheel.
You will need a 3500 truck for that load. Going to a dually and you can tow all most anything you want.
