It will be of only a few companies. I assume 1ton. A tag on one of the bolts should give you the gear ratio.

Good luck on part numbers, but should be able to find a rear-end for a dodge chassis.

Someone told me I could use a regular rear end from a Dodge 2500 or 3500 as long as same gear ratio and not (floating?). Any idea if this is true?
 
You want the same capacity axel. 2500 is 3/4 ton 3500 is 1 ton and so on. The universal type should be of the same style. Truck frame should measure the same width.

The gear ratio is only important if you're happy with the RV'S performance. Lower gears give better hill climbing, higher gears give better travel speeds. Speedometer output can be changed to compensate for any rear-end changes.

The only reason I would stick with a specific name plate, is you need to get parts down the road, without a spreadsheet with the parts used.
