I think you would be best suited by buying a used hard sided camping trailer with heating and a/c built in. This is the time of year they are most reasonably priced. OP why do you think you would be better off with a teardrop or cargo trailer?

What are the specs on this F550 that it has 6000lbs over the front axle when empty? How much wqould it have over the front axle with the camper on? What is the front axle weight rating?

That 700r4 would have a much better chance at a long life with 4.56 gears than 3.73 with 35 inch tires. OP is your trans builder aware of your vehicle weight, aerodynamics, tire size and gearing choice?

The pre smogged diesels will be loosing their value at a greatly increased rate as they become older and worn out. Their features and creature comforts are now getting very far behind the newest offerings. To move any load be it shopping cart or camper the heavier the load the more energy it...

Isn't a much larger radiator from a big block or diesel truck a bolt in?

If you look at how many millions of propane tanks that there are in this country and the number of mishaps the odds of something bad happening are literally several million to one. Having it inside a heated trailer will be beneficial in temps under 25 degrees.
