Most of the cam companies actually have a tow truck, RV cam, at least they did in my day.
Call the companies you like and let the experts do what they know.
Compare their models and pick one. I would never pick a cam from some yahoo's on the computer.

I agree, the RV cams are the place you should be looking. Anything else won't make power in an RPM range useful in a towing application. You need power from just off idle up to about 4000 RPM max, and maybe not that high.
