One of the biggest concerns I think as far as using the truck to pull your camper is that you would want an air hitch and also one that articulates side to side. Commercial king pin hitch (as you know) only hinges fore/aft. They can tear up a recreational camper trailer when you are getting into campgrounds and even just driving down the road with turns and off camber and such. I think there are a couple owner/operators that ended up using a separate tractor outfitted with a air ride rv hitch. They just gave up on trying to meld the work and recreation thing into one tractor.
