Hi everyone. I'm new to this camper thing, and managed to have an old coachmen camper given to me. Now my question is this. The truck had a 7 pole (big) connector on it. The camper needs a 6 Pole connector. I have tried to wire it in, and have all exterior lights but no lights inside the camper. I just got the truck as well, and it is older, and I'm not sure of the integrity of the wiring. Has anyone encountered this wiring problem before. I would love a schematic, but cant seem to find one. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all,

Andrew

If the camper has a battery inside, the lights should work inside even without hooking it up to the truck. If the battery is good the lights inside should work even if the camper is sitting on the jacks.
