Thanks for your reply. It sounds like your set up will be pretty similar to what I'll have.
I had an f450 before trading it in on the f350. The f450 was one of the most comfortable, best driving trucks I've ever had, except the mpg was horrible (it was a 2008).
If I need to get an extension for the cord that still seems cheaper and cleaner than putting in a second plug.
