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.
My "stud #1" position has a 30A fuse that does not appear to be a dummy.
It is labeled as trailer brakes.
I will have to check with a volt meter if I can figure out how to do that.
