Considering the age of the camper you may be dealing with a wiring issue to the lights that are not working. You would need to inspect the wiring and repair or replace any bad or questionable areas. It could also be a poor ground connection somewhere.

Ground problems normally show up when there is more draw on a system such as when you have the running lights on and then use another function like a turn signal or brake light.

Make sure that the vehicle side and camper side connectors are clean and free of corrosion inside and out. The main connector grounds should be attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces.

The light grounds should also be attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces. If there is anything between a light ground and the metal camper frame or if the camper has an aluminum frame, this can interrupt the ground. Running jumper wires from the light grounds to the main camper connector ground can help.
