The plot continues. While I have standalone power now I noticed the two outlets in the camper do not work. One is GFI protected and not tripped. I re set it just incase. It appears to be protected on the 12v side by the 10a fuse, as shown in my panel in my first post. I figure it has to be user...

Well now......I just decided to start digging into the harnesses and see what went where. Somebody has been in here before adding electric jacks and solar so there was that butchering to contend with. I found a fusable link. 30A Sure enough. Blown. After replacement I have stand-alone power...

Maybe I should ask something I thought would be obvious to me. Should the camper be able to run lights, power, etc, when not plugged into the truck and not plugged into shore power? Totally stand alone? The battery in the camper is new. My assumption is that it should run off the deep cycle...

Sure, but a breaker should have a reset though, right? Like a house?

If it is "one-use", I assume this would be a satisfactory replacement? https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/cole-hersee/cole-hersee-30-amp-circuit-breaker/ch00/3005530/v/a/18379/automotive-car-2005-hyundai-elantra?q=Circuit+Breaker+30+Amp+Threaded+Stu&pos=5

Aha! I should have thought of just running the wires off a batt. The battery is right above the pigtail on this camper so I simply used wire I had laying around to make the distance between each wire on the camper's pigtail. I did not have to touch the white ground wire to anything though for...

I think I found it. So did I fry it? I have yet to pull it off the wall to see if there is some way to "flip" it. I traced the "blue wire" which became a red wire before entering the camper and did not see any sort of fuse between it and the batt. This old style 6 pin things are confusing...

Thanks. I actually bought 12' of 7 pin wire in a loom from NAPA. So those are the wires you are seeing there in that picture with the 7pin rather than anything from the camper.

I should add: The only other fuse I have found on the camper is an in-line unit here off the batt. It checks out good. Not blown.

Thanks to the two of you! Rich; I have yet to sort the tail light wiring and such yet. I got a bit confused with this 7 pin RV plug if I am honest. On the 7 pin plug itself (that will go into my truck) it has code on the inside for "building the harness". Excuse the lousy crimp job. This was...

Hi folks. I figure I might toss a formal greeting somewhere later since I am pressed on a problem on a new purchase. My question is regarding an old Northland Camper that I just bought yesterday. My issue is electrically related. My truck has the connection shown below and the camper has the...
