I have a 99 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 that has been modified to carry a 2002 1,000lb Pastime camper. Mods include aftermarket HD springs, swaybar and air bags. So far, so good. But now I have to wire the camper to the truck.
Since this is a small camper, my rear truck lights show and I only need to wire in the camper running lights. The camper has a 7 way plug, but with only 4 wires. I am guessing a ground, one for running lights and one for battery. Not sure what the 4th wire is for? The camper has a 12 volt battery, refrigerator and converter. So would I wire camper ground wire to truck ground, camper power wire to solinoid and truck battery, and camper running lights to truck? Again, I do not know what 4th wire from camper is for? Refrigerator? Possible future accessory such as electric jacks? Any help is much appreciated. Also is there any website that shows a typical camper to truck wiring diagram? Thanks, CC. |
