I picked up a 2016 lance 865. It is killing the truck batteries when plugged into the truck. If it sits for a couple days without starting the truck then it is really slow to start. On the plug I i...

Desperate times call for desperate measures: It might behoove you to build a "breakout harness" so you can measure Amps on each individual wire coming out of of the 7-pin plug, WHILE it is plugged into the camper.
For this you need a male and female 7-pin, a bunch of wire, and a piece of plastic like a cutting board and 14 sheet metal screws. Arrange the screws in two parallel rows of 7. Connect the 7 pins from the male plug to one row, and the 7 pins from the female plug to the corresponding screws in the other row.
Now you can jumper across to connect each function, or touch the two corresponding screws with a meter set on Amps to see how much current is flowing. Current should NOT be flowing.
Don't assume anything. Do all seven pins.
I believe there are assumptions being made here which are causing the real issue to be overlooked.
