I am reading these comments different from most everyone else.
What do you mean "the lights work"? The lights INSIDE of the camper?
...and then you say you stop and there's no 12V power.
These two comments are suspicious- and make me ask "is your battery in the camper connected?"
For most of us, when we stop, there's 12V power because it's fed from the camper battery.
AND, if the inside lights work when the truck is on- then there IS 12V getting to your camper (and making it everywhere BUT the battery).
The tow vehicle has no 12V wire for the battery THAT IS SEPARATE FROM the 12V wire to power "everything" else in the camper (inside stuff).
Maybe you have said something wrong- but from what I quote you on, it's possible the tow vehicle is fine and the problem is with the camper.
(By the way 1- If you have some sort of battery disconnect switch, you disconnect it from charging)
(By the way 2- Folks often "lecture" that the TV does a bad job charging a battery- it does take a good while)
(By the way 3, If I'm right, you are most likely in a dangerous scenario where your brakes won't work if a breakaway occurs (Important safety feature for others)).
As I was falling asleep last night I was thinking the same thing as you. Something doesn't sound right in the OP's post.
