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.
