Default 1st time truck camper set up. Seeking advice.

Hi Outdoorsmen,

Into my mid 30’s now and I’m looking to get a used pickup and put an in box camper on it and either haul the small boat or the trailer with a couple quads for hunting season or some outdoor fun. I live in Edmonton so most trips are over 300km one way. I could take this conversation any direction but I’ll start with the truck. My buddy is selling a 1996 Ram 2500 V10 gas guzzler that gets 500km to the 130L tank. It’s got an 8’ box for $3500. Do you think this is a good starting point or should I hold out for something better as I plan to spend about $10k on a nice camper. To be honest I don’t know how much a nice, used truck camper is worth yet. The truck deal came up quick and I’ve got to decide quick. Please post some of your lessons learned or things to remember. I appreciate all of the input I can get. Picture of the truck is below. Is a dually necessary for a truck camper? Thanks.
