"Slide in truck camper not recommended for this truck"
So digging through my owners manual of my 1997 F-250 HD I found a paper that said not recommended for truck camper???? Anyone know wht thats all about?

My bet... Part legalese, part marketing.
The legal part... "Yeah, we recommended you don't do that. You did it anyway. Now it is all busted. Not our fault".
The marketing part... Anyone remember the "Camper Special" pickup truck models from the late 60's - early 70's? It wouldn't surprise me if they were throwing on a couple extra features - like a bed plug, adding a badge, charging a few extra grand, and calling it 'Camper ready' or something like that. Oh, and now we "Recommend this model if you are hauling a camper". Same basic truck, just more money.
