No reason for an F250 if you are ordering a new truck. An F350 is not much more in price but adds a lot more capability - yet unloaded, there's no appreciable difference in ride or driveability.

It looks like the 2002 1025 weighs 2,467 lbs with a 10'6" length.
Figure closer to 3,000 lbs just for the camper. My 2004 Lance 815 has a listed weight of 1,800# with only option of AC. With my gear in my truck and camper packed for a long trip my stuff totals out to 3,900. So odds are your camper loaded and packed is going to be closer to 4,500 - 4,800# if there are only two folks. So why not get the F350 which would be better suited for the camper?
