My 2009 GM was like the earlier units. I connected the wire to the terminal on the fuse box and then installed a 40 amp fuse. Unplugging the 7 way connector gets to be a real pain, especially when I forget to plug it back in when leaving the campground.
Putting in a solenoid is the next best thing but trying to find a switched wire by cutting into the harness doesn't sit well with me. So I found this Cole Hershee 48530 solenoid that seems to fit the bill. It stops the load from the camper from draining the truck battery and can be configured so that the camper battery can be used to jump start the truck if the main battery dies. That would mean installing a larger guage wire to the camper though.
