I am purchasing a 2004 Bigfoot 1500C9.5FS and need information on the truck bed and camper electrical connections before I go out of state to pick it up. I have 2009 GMC Sierra 2500HD that has a 7 pin round male connector at the bumper it also has a bundle of wires behind the cab in the frame that can be used. Can someone tell be what type of plugs are needed on the truck and what the cable plug in is on the camper? Also, what gauge wire I need to run between the truck and camper. I appreciate any help and look forward to becoming a member of the truck camper family.
Thank you

I installed my own plug in the middle left hand corner of my truck bed,purchased at an auto-parts store.your camper should come with a 2 1/2ft male-to-male plug. be careful that you don't get too close to your fuel filler connection

7-Way Molded Trailer Cable
Description
This high quality 8' long trailer-end cordset features a 7-blade plastic trailer connector molded to a heavy duty 7-way cable.
It is made with self-cleaning contacts and molded to encapsulate terminals and wires to form one weather-tight, non-corrosive assembly. This is far superior to the type with a separate connector clamped to the cable.
Other brands use undersized 18 gauge wires on most or all of the lines. This Bargman model uses heavy gauge 10, 12 and 14 gauge wire.
The primary wire gauges within the insulated cable are:
Black (battery charge) and White (common ground) are 10 gauge
Blue (electric brake) is 12 gauge
Brown (right stop/turn), Red (left stop/turn), Green (tail/license) and Yellow (center aux.) are all 14 gauge
The molded connector can be connected to either plastic or metal 7-way car end connectors.
7-Pin Trailer Connector
your going to need a cable 9' to 10' long with a trailer plug on each end .
If possible do it like oklamtnbkr suggests you will end up with a much better (shorter) connection for the battery charging circuit

On your truck, the hot lead feeding the trailer/camper wiring is disconnected at the fuse box under the hood. And there is no isolator supplied by GM, so you will want to supply one. MTBob recently posed a pic of where he mounted his, etc. I'll find it and post a link to it and there is also a link to a page that shows where to connect the loose hot lead, etc.
