We have what you need in order to wire in your third brake brake light for the truck camper, though there isn't going to be anything specific to either your 2000 Chevy C2500 or your camper shell. You will simply need to add the Pacer Performance 3rd Brake Light Logic Module # PP20-702 and tap into the turn signal circuits of your Chevy. This converter will separate your truck's combined turn signal/brake lights, which you will need to do so your camper shell's brake light will blink along with your turn signal.
