Camper running lights always on if truck running?

I bought a back-up camera for my 2001 Lance 845. However, I want the camera to operate anytime my truck is running, not just when backing up. I seem to remember the running (aka marker) lights are on if the truck is running, regardless of headlights being on or off. Since my camper is off the truck I can't confirm this.

Don't want to trust my memory and start the wiring. :)

Thanks,

  • Doubt it, but you could turn them on. Or could power it from the 12V hot wire on the trailer plug if all you need is power back there.
  • don't know about your truck but specifically but mine aren't on unless at least park lights are on in the truck.

    I have mine wired to the reverse wire but also have the ability to turn it on at will by using an upfitter switch from the cab.
