The Strait-Line Weight Distribution with Sway Control, part # RP66072, you referenced would work very well as a weight distribution and sway control system for pulling your 1987 21 foot Sunline Camper with your 1998 Ford F150. I have included a link below to installation instructions and an FAQ page that you might find helpful.

I would strongly recommend you upgrade your transmission cooler also. I would recommend the Derale Transmission Coolers for the 1998 F-150 and F-250 Light Duty by Ford, part # D12904. This should keep your transmission temperature at a safe level and, in doing so prolong the life of your transmission.

You will also need a Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for Ford and Lincoln, part # D13024 to quickly and easily install the # D12904 onto your F150.
