Making an umbilical/pigtail cord
My 1995 Palomino Bronco 1200 didn't come with the cord to connect the camper to the truck's electrical system. My camper does NOT have taillights or turnsignals or backup lights; just marker lights. ...

And one last update: the new receptacle is wired and mounted on the camper; and I ended up making the umbilical out of a 12/3 heavy-duty extension cord since I only needed 3 wires for mine (I'm not hooking up the 4th wire for the fridge).
I bought this plug set:
12 gauge wire is as big as it could handle - and at that, connecting the fine stranded wires involved a lot of aggravation and a bit of unladylike-language ;-)
The encouraging part: the wire on my extension cord IS the same size as what's wired in the camper. I feel better about not being able to go with 10 gauge.
The finished product - and I'm 99% certain it will work :-)
