I don't know if you've got "real world" weights on your trailer yet. If not, you might want to swing by a CAT scale next time you're heading out of town on a camping trip. Most F150 receivers are rated at 500/5000 pounds without a W/D hitch and 1100/10000 pounds with a W/D hitch.

Stats for your trailer, empty as shipped from Keystone give the tongue weight at 485 pounds. Add 40 lbs of propane and a battery and you're over the max receiver weight for a "non W/D hitch".... That's without any cargo in the trailer's front storage compartment, no camping equipment and no water/supplies in the trailer.
