The Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C56190 draws and applies power from the vehicle battery only when the turn signals, brake lights, or tail lights are activated.

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
