Thanks guys, it was indeed the ground coming from the camper. I just got a long piece of 2-wire romex and ran it from the camper wiring to my truck's battery to test the lights. No issues when connected directly to battery so I had the ground wrong.

 

I'm thinking I am just going to install a switch panel in the truck and tie the camper lights into that panel as opposed to the driving lights on the truck. I like the of being able to turn the camper lights on when needed on their own. Will report back!

Here is a picture of the camper on the truck finally! I am going to build the roof rack for the front of the cab today, but rain is in the forecast for the rest of the week here so I likely won't install till next week.

I got the Rhino-Rack crossbars installed on the truck yesterday. Pretty simple to install following the supplied install instructions. I have a Rhino-Rack Pioneer platform that I am going to cut to size to make a custom, small platform to attach recovery gear. I will begin that today and explain how I do it.

 

On another note, this truck makes 35" tires look so tiny . But, my gearing would not like 37" or bigger for the long distances I plan to travel in a few months!

Hey. Not sure if this is any help but I ran my marker lights wire (14 awg maybe?) in the same loom as my truck to camper 6 awg wire to the front of the truck. I ran it through a relay with a fuse and hooked it up to one of these guys that plugs in behind my headlight: https://www.napaonli...en/p/TEEHWH106. Works well. I can snap a few photos if you’d like.

Mine aren’t leds and drew more power than I thought they would.
