Installing a new Lance camper plug on a new pickup. Lance plug is 8 gauge wire, what size circuit breaker do I use with the 8 gauge wire. The 40 amp I looked at called for 10 gauge wire. Any reason to...

The larger wire is to prevent voltage drop.
Size of circuit breaker can be smaller then what the wire is rated.
#8 can be protected as high as 40 amps.
#10 wire is rated for only 30 amp.
I would stay with the 30 amp. as there could be smaller wire in the system.
I would not run the refer on 12 volts even while driving.
