Adding a 7-Way Connector to 1996 Ford F-350 for Slide-In Camper
Question:
I have a 1996 Ford F350 Crew Cab and a 1996 Elkhorn Slide-In Camper, OS8. I am looking for a kit or materials to install a 7 way receptacle for camper running lights and charge circuit, with isolator on the F350. Can you help me materials and instructions?

To add a 7-way to your 1996 Ford F-350 you will want to install the 7-Way Pre-Wired Car Connector # 20023, which is a confirmed fit for your truck. I've added a link to a help article on trailer wiring which details the functions of the connector. This will be a hard wire application and includes the installation instructions. As for an isolator I believe you are referring to a solenoid. For that you want the Battery Isolation Solenoid # PK5231201 which is going to switch off your F-350's 12V battery feed when the ignition is off so you do not drain the battery.
