OMG! Were do you think that you are going with that thing? No doubt that you have done a great job with it but you will be severely restricted on CGs that can be accessed, never mind using it for local sightseeing & shopping.
People grumble enough about a 3500 dually being inconvenient, I have no problem with one, but you are in a whole nuther world with your current beast.
If SPs, BLMs & NPs are in your future travel plans, IMO they are the best experiences, do some research for a truck & 5er combo that is comfortable & doable.
I can understand the reluctance to sell something that you have put so much effort into but you have a 500lb bomb to do the job that a hand held grenade will do.

Actually probably better here.
The HDT group is biased to try and justify their choice.
Here you get a few folks who do tow with them.
But if the OP thinks towing a 30ft 5er is wildly dangerous with a 3/4 - 1 ton pickup, he really does need a full class 8 semi tractor.

I've been pulling a 22k fifth wheel with a classic class 8 tractor for over twenty years. It's a fine match and does what I want it to. You might not fit everywhere a smaller setup would, but for me the trade offs are ok. Mostly camp off grid anyway.
