I'm considering the same type of change, except from a 2008 Dodge 2500 QuadCab 4x4 Laramie LB to a 3500HD. I am debating on whether to go from a SWR to a dually. What are the advantages and disadvantages of a dually?
Most of the time, I drive around town. However, I do tow a Keystone Cougar 276 (8,000#) occasionally and I also have a truck camper (TC). The TC weighs 3600# fully loaded with water, propane, etc. When I have it on the Dodge, the total weight is just over 11,000#. The TC is a Snowriver with a slide. I have had it about two months, but have had trouble with it moving even though it is chained down.
My other option is to sell the TC and find a lighter unit. The Dodge is a 2008 and I only have 43,500 miles on it, which means it really isn't broken in yet.
What do you think?

The dually is more stable which would come in handy with a Camper on the back. I haul a lot of Water in the Summer and the dual wheel wheels sure help when you turn or have a 25MPH cross wind.
