Finally got a wire harness built for the running lights on the camper yesterday. Still have to figure out the power wire to run the fridge portion, but we want to have solar and a battery bank for boondocking so that will come later on. From what I've heard the 3 way fridges like we have don't work to well on d.c. anyway so that might be and upgrade as well.
Ran the cable down the inside corner of the drivers side and attached it with loop clip cable holders. (not sure what the right name is.)
Oh, and I redid my trailer plug in the truck. Old one was cracked and falling off again. Saw some one did this either on here or over on expedition portal.
I'm happy with how it turned out. My hole saw cut through the bumper way easier than I thought it would. I used some rest dif oil to lubricate. Stunk bad but worked.

Thats a smart location for the 7pin, well protected.
They are called loom clamps, I had to ask the salesman years ago when I had the truck equipment shop. I think I called them "rubber covered strap things".
Which btw, I need to restock my shop with. Its been years since I've checked pricing, but I bought from Delcity.net back when you called in your order to a person- and they had a stocked mobile truck do weekly routes if you wanted. Yes my hair is grey, haha. As if you guys couldnt tell by how I ramble on...Anyways, thought I would share the name of a good electrical supplier. Idk if they still do, but you could draw out a harness, and they would build it for you, as well as supplying any wire, connector, retainer, etc.

Leroy I've been meaning to ask you about your camper. If you have the split entry door could you take a couple pictures of it with the top down. The lady I bought mine from said with the top down water will come in through the top. There's no seal right there on mine.

Thanks Will. The connector is way more solid as well. I'll remember the suppliers site too. 
I'll get some later. Looks like your top is not sitting down?

Cool Thanks. I think it's sitting down all the way. The latches clip in without much effort.
