The Twist lock is for shore camping which should have an extension cord Heavy RV guage to plug into a pedistal,. They are NOT ALWAYS located in the same compartment, The shore power cord is usually off the back right corner,(looking at the back of the truck or passenger side,) The 12 volt plug to truck cord is usually on the drivers side,, back left corner looking at the back of the truck, With a twist lock like that,, it seems to have been wired by P.O. to connect to a generators plug in and set to run on 110/120 volt, As most know, slide in campers are basically off grid and rarely at rv parks with shore power, but do need a/c voltage for microwaves, coffee pot, electric heaters, toasters etc,, so My guess its wired for a generator,,</p> Again, It is a simple matter…tag:goodoldrvs.ning.com,2018-08-01:2093474:Comment:3388572018-08-01T22:29:05.459Zpostmanhttps://goodoldrvs.ning.com/profile/postman
<p>Again, <span>It is a simple matter to check continuity to be sure.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>Now begs the question, can you locate a 120 volt fuse or breaker box?</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>Further you may have 12 volt VDC interior lights. </span></p>

<p>Ok the male plug in the pic is a house hold current plug as noted on it. It would power household power outlets in the camper, if there are any. A plug for say a blender, tv, or radio.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Not to say that some one did not try to repurpose it in 12 volt... if you do have household wall sockets, then my guess is that plug is for shore power. It is a simple matter to check continuity to be sure.</p>

<p>Sorry, I never saw that connector in the first post. I'm not familiar with that style. If it is factory Ford, you may be able to find it at Rock Auto or other parts sources like that. </p>

<p>Yes, that bump protects the fuel filler on the auxiliary tank. The plug I was referring to is between that and the wheel well. The former owner obtained the camper from a friend, and he never actually used it, but he witnessed the person he obtained it from disconnecting from a plug he described as similar to this and in the same location. <br></br><br></br>Better picture: <br></br><br></br><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/300948803?profile=original" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/300948803?profile=original" width="498"></img> I…</a></p>
