As an avid Rver, the only manuals I have seen in RV Parks/campgrounds are Dodge RAMS with the Cummins driven by somebody in their 70's.....
And RAM finally eliminated the 6-speed manual option in the redesigned 2019's.
When I was looking for a truck to pull a heavy 5th wheel, I seriously considered a truck with the Cummins and G56 6-speed. The problem was the engine was tuned for less power in that application, and the tow rating was also much less. Yes you can get more power out of the engines, and people overload their manual trans RAM's all the time. That presents it's own issues with emissions, warranty, etc.
I eventually went with a Dually with the HO Cummins and Aisin 6-speed auto trans. It's rated for more than I'm towing, and it does a great job.
