Trailer Directional not working

Getting ready for trip. Neither the left or right directionals are working on my 2012 Cameo 5er. The lights work, but no stop lights or directionals. I checked the plug for the truck and I have voltage for the lights, but not for blinkers, directional or stop lights. All the same filament on the bulb. For what I can tell all other 12V systems are working. Any ideas? Is there a separate fuse box just for 12V? If not any ideas to get them working. It is not nice to drive without break or blinker lights.... We live in the RV full time and it has been sitting on our pad for about 2 years without moving. All worked last time we were out.

    So you are saying the truck receptacle for 7-pin is not powering these lights?

    Does the truck itself have operating brake/turn signals? If so, it would likely be a bad connection in the harness to the 7-pin connector.

    If truck stop lights not working, most likely a fuse under hood or dash. Your owners manual should give the exact fuse location.

    There are no fuses on the trailer for the brake lights, turn signals or taillights, these are all powered by the truck. Some trucks do have separate fuses for the trailer lights.
    I would start checking at the 7-pin connecter and work back to the taillight bulb connections.
