Expert Reply:
For your Ford F-250 with truck bed camper, the Brophy Hitch Extender with Step - 2" Hitches - 18" Long - 6-1/2" x 17" Platform # ST18 will get you out from your camper with a towing rating of 3,500 lbs which will not be enough for your Jeep. If you happen to have a 2-1/2 inch hitch, then you can use the Curt Hitch Extension and Reducer for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches - 24" to 34" Long # C45048 which will give you a 6,000 lb towing capacity at 24 inches which may be enough depending on your particular Jeep.
If you'd like more specific recommendations, I need to know the year and model of your Jeep as well as the year of your F-250.
