2017 Super Duty has so-called smart relay whereby 12V pin to trailer, or in our case camper, in the 7-way is only made hot when truck senses a load and shows "Trailer Connected" in the dash. Absent that load, the pin you'd expect to have 12V to the camper is inactive, and you will not see any voltage on a Voltmeter. I've already been down this road wiring up the umbilical for my Bigfoot.
Where I'm still scratching my head is that NOTHING else was active ether: running lights, turn signals, backup, nothing. Then again, that was yesterday, today everything appears to work.
Thanks to the links I know now to tap the breaks to enable the +12V (silly).
