Redwood or DRV

Looking at a Redwood and DRV rear kitchen bath and 1/2. Any owners have good or bad experiences. Also 350 required but can it be done without a Dually?

When we bought in 2015 we looked at everything and the Redwood was the best bang for our buck
Most of the models in these 2 lines should be pulled with a dually

I own a 2015 RL38 redwood it has a 16,500 GVW rating I have been towing it with a SRW truck for 2 years . Honestly Next week I will own a DRW truck I dont suggest it. It can be done but its heavy and your on the limits of the truck weight wise. It can pull it with out a problem but twisty side roads you really feel the weight. I was over the rear axle limit and tire limits almost every time I tow it with My 2016 GMC 3500 crew cab.

New Horizons and F450 dually. With wide front axles they have a good turning radius. Or get a small Freightliner not that much more but three times the truck.
