Question:
i have a 7 pin connection on new ford f 250 and on camper , when i looked at the camper connection only 6 wires are connected. the blue brake wire does not enter the camper . will this work.

Helpful Expert Reply:
Your slide-in truck camper does not have electric brakes so the blue brake circuit wire from its 7-way connector is not used. All other lighting functions as well as 12V auxiliary power will be maintained on the other circuits. Please refer to the linked photo for the standard wiring/function configuration for RV-style 7-way connectors.

The wire for connecting the camper hot and ground wires are 8ga, could I use 10ga safely? Thanks

I have a 2012 Ford F250 and a 2002 Lance Slide In, I have the wire supplied by the Lance Company to wire the camper to the pickup, but have no idea where to run the wires and how to figure out the running lights from the turn signals. Is there a place to get a detailed plan for such an installation?
