Well congrats on the new rig! That's a heck of a step up. You're getting a great truck. Have had a couple of them as company work trucks....solid.
I wouldn't go to the dealer for anything. If you're not comfortable doing basic mechanical work yourself, pretty much any mechanic can do basic suspension upgrades or trailer plugs.
Plus, you can buy plug n play kits for an additional trailer plug. Check out etrailer.com.
I don't use the camper much so I just made an extension plug from the rear plug by the hitch.
Thanks! Glad to know they're solid trucks, I noticed it revs differently probably due to the 6 speed, compared to older F250's I've driven in. While you can't seem to floor it in 1st gear, it does seem to imply I'll get some mileage savings, due to the 6 speed and more gradual transitions. I'm OK with that. I might try your method first with the extension cord from the trailer plug.
One thing I'm not sure about though, if I go with just a regular mechanic, will they also supply a valid camper package certificate, or is that only something a dealer can officially do?
