A diesel and any sort of 'extra' cab space reduces payload.
Diesel are good at proving torque. Torque is needed when pulling a load. You will be carrying a load not pulling a load.
Payload is the critical item.
You should buy a camper before the truck then you will know the payload the truck can carry before you buy the truck. If you are set on a 'big' camper you will need a 350 dually.
I have a 250 single and it carries my 10' rig nicely. With airbags and upgraded rims and tires.
My advice wold be to buy a gasoline standard cab.

Initially I was having de-rating issues due to the DPF so I went out and bought the H&S Mini Max tuner and deleted. Best move I ever made. Since then the engine and truck have been terrific. religious oil changes and fuel filters (both) and cetane added every fill. Turn off the EGR and I will remove the EGR's this year as well.
I have a 2008 f350 shortbox crew cab with the 6.4 litre diesel. Heard lots of bad reviews but Ive done lots of big trips with my camper and my 5th wheel with no major problems. Love it.

The 7.3, 6.0, and 6.4 liter Powerstrokes were all built by Navistar. Due to the poor reputation of the 6.0 and 6.4, Ford decided to take the motor in house and designed and built the 6.7 that premiered in 2011 and is still in use today.

I'm only interested in a ford. Please tell me what model/ year ford truck you use to haul your truck camper.
I'm looking at this used 2003 f350 dually, but i'm concerned with many negative reviews I've read about the 6.0L Diesel engine
