It is supplying power to the camper BATTERY itself, not the charger!
That is, if you installed a 40A fuse in the "Stud #1" position in the fuse panel under the hood on the driver's side. From the factory, there is a dummy fuse in that position.
Your truck outputs power for the 12V DC power system. Your camper's converter/charger operates on 120V AC household power.
Clearly the truck cannot power the camper's charger, but it can charge the camper battery directly when properly configured.
