Looks like you have an aftermarket fuel filter on top of the engine passenger side to the back of the carburetor. Looks a bit red which could be rust.
Based on you break down description, in particular the intake back fire I would hit the ignition system along with fuel tank rust. Plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. You should have a electronic ignition and no points. There could be a heat related failure. Check the timing also. The carburetor is an OK guess but how did you ever get it to start if there is a problem there?
Check the date code on the tires. Don't want them to get too old. RV tires rot rather than wear out, most of the time.
