emergency start has been hardwired?
I recently purchased my camper. It is a 1990 E350 Catalina. I have been having serious issues getting her started after sitting for even a day. If I drive for more than about 2 hours she starts to die...

Given that the OP’s chassis is a 1990 E350 it’s almost guaranteed to be a simple 4 post constant duty solenoid. AKA Ford starter solenoid.
Last time I checked a starter solenoid was NOT a constant duty solenoid...has it changed?
Yes it changed, but not they way you think.
The ‘old style’ solenoids were robust enough to withstand constant duty, then they started ‘cheaping out’ (I guess the $0.25 / unit savings made a difference) on construction of them and they would burn up under constant duty.
Today to buy a solenoid of the quality they were all made to years ago it’s an ‘upgrade’.
Surprised?
