It's a coincidence that I just saw this post today, because I got a call from the Ford dealer this morning that our new F250 has arrived and he asked about putting the plug in the bed. Since they also sell Northern-lites which is what we're getting (but now there), I asked him to check where the cord was on the camper, and he did and advised that the plug should go in front of the wheel well. I don't understand why the Ford camper package doesn't come with the plug in the bed. Unfortunately, there was a slight problem with the Northern-lite on order for us in Colorado and we now have to wait for another unit which hopefully will arrive by mid-March. We are supposed to put 1,000 miles on the new truck before hauling anyway, so now we won't be rushed.
Do you know whether the Northern Lite plug type/size is the same size one as the Ford dealer will be putting in? Don't know why it wouldn't be. (Seems from what is said here that the Lance camper plug is different.). Although I don't have access to my truck now, as it is in MT now, and I'm in PA for the winter, I'm pretty sure mine is the standard 7-pin plug, which Ford installed when I bought the truck New in 2011.
