help with truck to camper connector

I have a 2006 Lance 861 and no longer get running lights. Trying to determine if I have a truck wiring problem or a camper but google keeps bringing me to standard trailer 7 pin connectors or a true 6 pin connector. My camper has a 7 pin female but my truck has only 6 pins (11 O Clock isn't there). I assume it's because I have not need for trailer brakes on a truck wiring. Anyone know the pin configuration of this? Which pin is running lights and which 12v power? I still have brake lights and left/right directionals, not sure if camper was charging or not when connected.

Where can I buy the other part of the plug that plugs into this plug. I just bought this camper and I do not have a plug to plug into my truck. Can I purchase one anywhere. Thank you for any information you may provide

It does look like it could stand to be cleaned. Before you poke anything in there, make sure you unplug from shore power and disconnect the battery positive cable or use the disconnect switch.

So your info is on Pg. 89 Your green wire is the running lights the red and brown being the turn signals/ breaks and yellow is your back up lights, the fuses are not in the converter/inverter mine is under the sink but you have to look for a separate fuse panel, best bet is to follow the 6 connector cord on the camper side

Im surprised that more Lance owners dont refer to manual,
One of the few mfgs that give details of camper.
pages 84 & 90 of pdf file, (not document page numbers)

If you dont have download, lot of info

Yes, being fused, 1 light or wire shorting somewhere would take down all. Or bad connection at plug if lucky, which if fuse good 1st obvious (simple) thing to check if truck side good.

I don't think the 5 front roof marker lamps plus the five red rear lamps and the running lights in the break lights on the camper would all just quit at once. All were working when I left for wknd, none when I drove home. I think the truck is fine from the test I ran today. Possible the plug from the camper needs to be cleaned somehow.

You just may have the running light bulbs burn out. Not sure of your set up, but many tail lights are dual filament. One for brake and turn, and one for running lights.

I'd check the truck fuse for trailer lights. I don't know if the Lance has a fuse for running lights, but probably not. Also, check any wiring and bulbs you can get to along with looking for water in clearance lights.

So truck plug is fine, lights my test light right up with 12v and running lights pin. Now time to trouble shoot the camper wiring.

Since I have brake lights and directionals on the camper does that mean my 12v is good or do they function off the 12v from the camper batteries and only running lights and charging needs 12v from truck? Trying to narrow down where to look
