No yellow wire in harness

Hi
I have a 2000 camplite 8u model popup camper that i have tried to find a wiring diagram for without any luck. All of the diagrams i am finding have a yellow wire and my camper doesnt. any help or diagrams would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Hmmm.
    The common colors I've seen are:
    White=gnd
    Brown=Tail & marker
    Green=Right turn & brake
    Yellow=Left turn & brake

    As evidenced by etrailer.com:


    Sorry, but the STANDARD is Green Tailights and Brown RT. For Travel Trailers and Bargman. I KNOW you went to E trailer but that schematic is NOT correct for a 7 way plug. Doug(Master Certified RV TECH) and have wire HUNDREDS of 7 way trailers and Tow vehicles). Where the "tell" that you are wrong is the Yellow wire. This is where it gets confusing. 6 way and 4 way plugs the YELLOW is LT. The GREEN is RT and the Brown is Running lights. White is always Ground. BUT, for American RV Trailers with 7 way plugs, it is how I described it.The other 7 and 6 way(your picture) are for Utility and Commercial trailers, NOT RV's. Doug

    when i got the camper all wires were cutoff and i dont have a diagram to show what wires go to what. i can get a picture if i can figure out how to post them. the wire colors i have are blue, red, brown, green, black and white. I just want to get my taillights and 12v to camper hooked back up so i can use it.


    I'll take a guess. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS JUST A GUESS but may be a place to start.

    Pretty sure about the next two.
    Black=+12V power to camper
    White= ground wire for everything

    The following are pure guesses.
    Blue=electric trailer brakes if equipped
    Brown=trailer running/tail lights
    red and green=left/right brake/turn (no idea which is which)

    Yellow in my experience is usually an optional connection or for the backup lights.


    On 7 way
    GREEN is Running lights and Brown is RT Red is LT
  • Awesome and thankyou. I will try this and see how it goes. I'll post later to tell if it works. thanks to all for the posts.

  • What is it, you are trying to do?

    How many, and what color wires do you have?

    Can you post pictures?
  • i only have one light in camper on the ceiling and it has a black wire that goes through the on off switch then to the bulb and a white wire on the side going to a small round plug hole.
  • Take an interior light base loose from the ceiling or wall.

    One wire is ground the other is 12 volt positivr

    What color is the 12 volt positive wir
