Truck suggestions for a Lance Lite 815

This Saturday we are going to look at our first used truck camper for sale. It's a Lance Lite 815 with the extended cab over.

We will be trading in our F-150 4x4 crew cab for a 3/4 ton or 1 ton 4x4 crew cab, but we are waiting until after we pick out the camper.

So if this Lance Lite ends up being "the one" what truck would suffice? My husband wants me to add these things:

~We will be traveling with a total of 4, occasionally 5 persons (4 average weight- one very skinny 13 yr old daughter :D)

~Most of our initial use of the truck camper will be for fishing on the beach (sand) at a state park near us.

So--- F-250 or F-350?
Diesel Turbo V-8 or V10?
Modifications?

Any tips would be appreciated as the term "newbie" doesn't even begin to describe us!!
