I don't see how you would have a problem with either one but I would imagine the larger one would be more of a handful. A dually would be more suitable for a large unit like that, although your rig would make it too.
-P

 

I would have no issues towing either one, but with that being said I am sure someone from the weight police will come up with a calculation saying they are too heavy.

 

The pin weight is a little high on the second one from my research. You may have to add air bags. Also, the dually dudes have no issues but I think it can happen you probably however should check with the dealer and the RV seller.

Also I have the usuall disclaimers that hauling overweight may cause injury or death as well as indegistion.
