This is the closest to a truck forum that we have on the 'fire, so I'm posting my question here.

My wife and I have decided to upgrade our 26' bumper pull camper to a ~36' 5th wheel, and to get a truck to pull it. First stop is the truck.

I'm planning to buy a new 4WD one-ton diesel dually, but I've never driven a dually much at all, so I thought I'd ask about driving them. What are the issues / hazards / difficulties with driving a dually? And with a 5th wheel camper? Aside from the wider rear wheels, of course.

To be clear, I'm not asking for opinions on which truck to buy, since I've already decided on that. I am asking for tips on how to drive it. Thanks in advance for your help!
