The fuel filter is under the driver's side door about 3 to 4 feet back towards the rear wheels. It is on the inboard side of the frame rail, and you will need a special tool to slip the fuel lines off. (I can't remember the wrench size) Its a tight fit laying on your back! I have the same issues/symptoms and I'm going to try the gentle persuasion of the mallet to the tank to see if that can get the pump turning again! Keep posting to let us know what happened.

Look in the owner's manual for the location of the fuel pump safety cutout switch. In Ford trucks, it is usually located behind the right side kick panel. Make sure the switch hasn't tripped. Also, look for a fuel pump fuse--maybe it blew when you first tried to start the truck.

As stated, I believe the inertia switch is OK (it is and was pushed in) and the fuel pump fuse is good.
The battery is fully charged and all of the DC functions within the camper are operational. Note: Did not check out the refer.
The engine cranks but does not fire except when shot with ether then it sounds as though it wants to start (ignition system good).
Do not hear the fuel pump in any ignition key position. Also have not found the fuel filter (need to crawl around under the rig).
Looking for a point where I can verify power to the fuel pump. It seems that there must be a quick disconnect in the line somewhere. I would hope it is back near the tank.
If there is a quick connect, I can open it to measure pump power OR I can inject 12Volts to verify pump.
If I was thirty again, I'd have this done.
I really don't want to have to drop that tank. It is full (55 gallons I think).
