I got around to doing the install today, after getting lots of great advice here. I decided to use Ford's 5th wheel wiring harness (part no. BC3Z-13A576-A) for ease of install. It was basically plug and play, routing the cables toward the front of my bed, drilling a 2" hole and installing the 7 pin. I had to replace the plug on my camper to match. Time will tell if this is the best solution, but given what I've read on here and how it seems to work I can't forsee any issues. The dealer's head wrench agreed. The eyebolts in the bed were very straightford, lots of room under my new Super Duty to play. Install time was 6 hours at a snails pace, a trip to the hardware store, over to my buddies for a socket, and a test drive.
Took it around the block and I now know what all you 1 ton guys/girls are talking about! Don't even know the camper is there. Rear only sagged 1.5" with it on, and not having to fuss with airbags or adding air to my tires is a treat. I think I'm going to like this truck! It's a 2015 F350 SuperCab 6.5" bed, same config and colour as my F150...but burlier and more plain jane inside.
The camper fit is nice, closer to the roof on the cabover but with a bit more room along the bed rails. Maybe some PVC storage tubes are in order...
Cheers.
