I will just chime in that the 7.3 is a awesome engine probably one of the best next to the 5.9 Cummins. It’s not a PowerStoke however,this is a International Engine, International then became Navistar. They built motors for for up to the 6.4 I believe. The issues that did arise were because Navistar built the iron and Ford made the software..
The truck looks like it would be a good match for the camper, there are airbags to help level it if needed. Just make sure the tires are not dry rotted and at least E rated.
It is a Powerstroke, I own one. Says on the side of the truck, on the EPA decal on the radiator frame and on the engine cover 'Powerstroke IDI Diesel'....
It's a great engine. Not big on power (mine was 323 horse stock) which it isn't now. I get great fuel mileage (I average just around 20 loaded and empty, city and highway all combined) and I have had no issues with the engine or drivetrain ever, other than some stiction with the injectors that I cured by using a nano-borate oil additive.
Best thing is, it smokes and it sounds like a diesel engine.
