I had outlets installed in both my 1997 and 2017 F250's. Two of the installs were done by RV dealers. The first one was not very good (I rewired it along with running a thicker gauge charge line) and the 2nd one (in the 2017) used a Ford OEM 5th wheel outlet/cable harness but with it mounted at the front drivers side of the bed. Oddly it plugs in near the rear bumper and then runs under the bed to the front of it where the outlet is installed.
The 2017 rides a lot softer empty AND loaded then my 1997 does. Then again the 1997 has Toyo608Z's on 19.5 rims and lots of air in them. :) It rides like a truck.
I have Timberlins (sp?) for the rear to beef it up if need be and considering adding a "hell wing" or some such. I don't know if the local dealer could simply install the "camper package" for me to get the extra leaf and antisway bar.
