The previous owner had his truck to camper power hard wired at Alaskan so I didn't get it.
So Has anyone changed an Alaskan female truck to camper receptacle to match a “standard camper” to vehicle 7pin? I stopped in this AM at the shop and it was WA raining outside so Brian told me to call when I get home and ready to change it. He's perpetually busy so I've got the plug out and just need to know which wires to move to where. Any help?

I have done that with a camper other than an Alaskan. It works well.
You need to know the pinning of the truck receptacle, and what the camper side wires go to. In my case it was 12VDC, ground, and clearance lights. My 7 pin female socket is located on the driver’s side forward of the wheel.

Prof Google has quite a number of images that describe what each pin is used for. You should be able to turn the automatic lights off. Then use an ohm meter to validate the ground pin in the diagram actually goes to ground. Followed with a digital multimeter to check if you have 12VDC on the pin with that label. Lastly, turn the lights on to check for voltage on the marker/tail light circuit.
Rather than probe pins on the truck side, attach short numbered wires to what will be the male camper side connector. An alligator clip on your leads helps.

Doc, I was shuffling through some camper papers, and located the pin configuration that my truck to camper wiring uses.
Pin 1 is ground, pin 3 is for the clearance lights, and pin 4 is 12VDC. On my truck, the 12VDC is only energized with the truck running.
