Based on the responses I think I will be "safe" so long as the math works.

This way we can grow to a larger camper in the future if we want without having to worry about the truck.
Has anyone had a particularly bad experience with the gas variants of these trucks? (I would rather stay away from the diesel engines because I have never owned a diesel and have never worked on one before.)
A Ford F250 6.2 gas will pull your camper with ease. I have one and it pulls my 10,000 GVWR camper with ease. It's a good engine and has a proven track record. The only thing that I don't like about it is the fuel mileage.
