8 gauge wire feed for truck camper?
My new Chevy 2500HD truck has a wire 'harness' tapped off the front-rear tow wiring for the truck bed. The OEM harness power feed has a 40 amp fuse rating. Will I have to run a separate 8 gauge power ...

You do not need to run another power line if you have the camper wiring you have described. A wiring diagram for the wiring bundle should be in your owners manual. The wire will probably not be an 8 gauge wire, its smaller.
Our camper has the battery relay/isolator installed in the camper and will isolate the camper from the truck starting battery when the engine is not charging.
If your camper does not have a battery relay/isolator its probably best if you do install one either in the engine compartment or in your camper ahead of the camper batteries/electrical system.
Good luck.
