Connecting truck to TCamper
Hello, just joined the forum because I am a new owner of a 1982 Sun lite eagle TC. I am going thru it trying to familiarize myself with the workings of it. My question is on topic as to plugging the T...

The plug most likely DOES NOT conform to any "standard." Very much like my Palomino.
My 2000 Palomino uses a standard 7-pin RV plug, but the wiring is COMPLETELY different. This was a complete surprise when I went to pick it up, and I ended up hauling it 150 miles home with one working turn signal, which was the only wire that matched up. It was a miracle that I did not get pulled over.
I had to use my jumper pack and a couple of nails to probe the various pins to determine which pin made which light(s) light. Once I established ground, it was fairly straightforward. Then I wired up an adapter cable to run from the 5th wheel plug in my bed to the camper. They also make "power probes" now for just such a purpose.
BTW, my camper has NO provision for an onboard battery, and never did.
