Wiring for '97 Northstar Pop-Up Slide-in
Hello,
I have some questions about the wiring on my slide-in camper. Since I'm new to the camper game and the wiring looks like its been hacked into a bit, I wanted to check if what I have is normal and, if not, what I need to do to make the system legal. When I bought the camper, I was told that the exterior lights "need some work." After some digging, here's what I've got. There are 4 wires going into the camper from the truck umbilical. Two of these are larger guage and go to the AC/DC converter (black and white), which seems fine. Of the other two, one goes to the running lights and the other to the positive terminal on the 3-way fridge. The running lights are all wired together in parallel with a conductor to ground to complete the circuit, so no turning indicators. This seems unusual to any standard wiring set-up I've read about online. Do I need turn indicators on the camper? Where do I connect these conductors on a standard 6-pin receptacle on my truck? Thanks in advance for your assistance.
