When using your camper and the lights are not working, first you will need to make sure that the 7 way plug is fully plugged into the trucks 7-way. Next you need to check if your wires and connections are clean and debris free, especially the connectors in the trucks 7-way and the plug from the camper. You can also verify that you are getting power to the pins on your 7 way using The Circuit Tester # PTW2993. You will need someone to sit in the truck and operate the turn signals and other functions to verify that they have power when they are suppose to. You can also check the grounds and make sure they are secure and attached to clean bare metal on your trailer.
