For as heavy of a truck as your 2012 Ford F-350 is I would not recommend the use of cable type chains since they wouldn't last very long.

I'd rather see you go with the part # TC2533 is a diamond pattern chain that is also pretty easy to install. Diamond patterns provide a smoother ride quality and provide better traction around corners. The ladder style are better for very deep snow.

For a similar set of diamond pattern tire chains that fit the size 225/75R15 that you have the part # TC1553 are a confirmed fit and would work well.

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
