I am working on a 68 8' NCO. It came with a pigtail that only has the 110 duplex outlet plug on one end and the standard, round, 4 pin plug on the other end. My camper has an identical 4 pin plug mounted just to the right of the 110 plug.
I am not interested in hooking up any 110/AC at this time. I do want to be able to drive with the clearance lights on, and to be able to use the interior lights and the rear "porch" light.
I have been looking at the 69 Owners manual in the stickies area until my brain and eyeballs hurt. I feel like I sort of understand all the different configurations, but for the life of me I can't read all of the hand written notes on the wiring diagram and I feel like those notes are what I want to know.
Questions:
1. If I don't intend to run on AC, is the four pin plug mounted in the camper's side the only thing I need to deal with (meaning, can I put the pigtail away for now)?
2. If the above is correct, can I make a long pigtail that goes to the flat four trailer plug already mounted on my truck?
3. If I can, what pins get what as far as wiring?
Looking at the upper right diagram in the 69 owners manual posted on this site, it looks like the top left of the four pins gets grounded, the top right gets hot from the "headlights" wire from the flat four connector, and then the bottom left one is where I can't really read what it says due to the "drag the crosshairs" overprinting. It looks like it might be for the porch light and interior lights, but I can't be sure. Also, after thinking about it, if it is for those lights, then it would need a constant hot from the truck battery which the flat four doesn't provide. I suppose I could wire off of the bigger (7 pin, I think) plug mounted on the truck.
Thanks much. I hope I am not the only one who doesn't clearly understand the wiring on these. I haven't even looked at the wiring on the two 10' NCO's that I somehow acquired. Baby steps.
