I used a Reese Towbeast when I was in your situation. You want to really watch the weight of the camper, an F250 is not known for having a lot of payload available. My F250 is around 2600 lbs of payload. I used a 24" extension and used a dual-cam WD hitch with 1200 lb bars for an 8,000 lb trailer. It really picked the back of the truck up, counter-acting the leverage, and when loaded the truck was perfectly level. My truck (Dodge 2500 at the time) was about exactly at it's GVWR when loaded for the road with the camper and the trailer, so it can be done.
