I would personally go with a diesel. Our previous truck was gas, we now have a diesel and I would never go back. The diesel truck gets much better mpg and walks up long pulls without breathing hard.
The maintenance cost and fuel is higher, but the increased mpg and relaxed pulling power more than offset.

One other thing, I use the truck lanes when traveling. With a big unit like you have you'll have trouble gassing up at auto pumps. Finding RV lanes is inconsistent and many times have a long queue.
I see your unit is about 14,400 lbs gross so that means about 2,880 lbs on your hitch plus the hitch, passengers and cargo. You'll have about 3,500 lbs of payload.
Personally I'd look for a dually, although a srw 3500 truck will do it. If you're starting new just go for the dually. You can't have too much truck.



Good luck
