I don't think there is a specific name given to that cord but I could be wrong. As far as I know its also not standard from camper to camper. I have an Adventurer and it uses a standard 7pin plug which is the same wiring as my trailer plug on the truck. I made up my own cable and just connected pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc. You do need to make sure the heavier wires are reserved for the ground, battery and brakes (not that there's brakes on a camper).
I went to my local RV dealership and bought the 7 conductor wire and the two plugs. They're all color coded so making the right connections was pretty easy. I don't know what your camper has for a wiring connection but if it looks like the 7 pin plug on the back of your truck, its probably the same as mine. Check with the manufacturer to make sure. |

in the rv industry there known as a, barshmen cord. my spelling is off but if you look up 7 pole or 7 pin you should find it. ive got at least half a dozen in my garage.

You can get a 7-way Pigtail and connect 7-Way Connector Female End to make a complete pigtail. |
