I think it is the overload springs and the stabilizer bar on the rear. Might be something else too but I'm not sure.

Camper Package consists of...

One up on the front springs rating (this usually means an increase of 400# rating)
an aux. leaf spring in the rear
and a rear stabilizer bar
but the main deal is a piece of paperlto show the RV dealer that says that the rig in question is "certified" to accept a slide-in camper.

I am a fan of the so called "camper package" and I think all 250's should have them as it is just about $165 retail on the options side of the maroni.

It may also have the electrical hook up in the bed. I know you need one of those to charge the camper's battery underway and power the brake lights if so equipped.

Mine doesn't have that, but it DOES have two rubber plugs in holes in the front wall of the bed; I'd assume they were there to ease the installation of wiring.

Here is the direct quote from the order guide:

CAMPER PACKAGE (532)
• Heavy service front springs (200 lb. Upgrade above the spring
computer selected as a consequence of options chosen. Not
included if maximum springs have been computer selected as
standard equipment)
• Rear stabilizer bar (SRW vehicles only)
• Slide-in camper certification
• Auxiliary springs
NOTE: Salesperson's Source Book or Ford RV Trailer Towing
Guide should be consulted for specific trailer towing or camper
limits and corresponding required equipment, axle ratios and
model availability.

Hope this helps
