The HappiJac Rear Tie-Down - Qty 1 item # LC182866 will fit your 2017 Ford F-250's stock bumper but you will have to drill a hole in it. I have linked a review video below.

A way better option to secure an in bed camper is to use the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs item # TLF3008. These attach directly to your frame and require no drilling that will eventually rust out your bumper like the Happijac. The tie-down inserts can be easily removed from the frame-mounted receiver brackets with included pins to leave you with your stock appearance when not using them.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
