Ignore the KBB and Dealer asking prices on your truck in the Bay Area and go by Craigslist. I am not certain why you don't think Dually sell well here because I see a lot of them on the freeway all the time. Maybe not as much as in Texas, but they aren't a rare sight. I spent months trying to find a decent 7.3L low mileage dually 4x4 in the Bay Area and it was a nightmare. Dealer's were consistently demanding $18k to $26k and wouldn't even entertain lower offers. They practically laughed when I cited how they were twice the KBB prices.
Private party had better pricing but I think most was still quite above KBB. The 6.0L does have some detractors however from what I understand, with the right parts you can make it into a rock solid engine. Since you are selling your truck you probably don't want to mess with it but there are plenty of people that will for the right price.
As far as moving the camper, I have to agree that finding a storage yard might be the cheapest solution. However, if your selling your place, why not stipulate in your sale that you can keep the camper on the property for three months or so? As long as it's out of the way if someone absolutely loves the property they will ignore the minor inconvenience of having to store a camper for a couple of months.
