need truck advice to carry a camper

In a separate post I said I had made a deal for a 1968 Avion C11 truck camper. From doing internet search it looks like this camper is aprox. 2200 lbs. dry. So figure about 2500-2600 fully loaded with stuff. So I'm looking for a truck to carry this camper. My gut tells me a 3/4 ton truck may not be enough. If I go one ton do I go with single tires in the rear or look for a dually ? I'm sure a dually is the best but I'm thinking I am going to use the truck as my daily driver to work ( only about 5 miles each way ). I did some internet shopping today and diesel duallies are available with some miles on them for about 12,000.00 which is the ballpark I want to be in. Oh I will also be towing on some occasions either a 13 1/2 ' boat ( 800 lbs. total ) or a 24 ' aluminum car trailer ( 1200 lbs. ) with either a 914 or 911 on it. So for you guys using your trucks hard what are you using ? Should I just start looking for a dually ?
