Question Starcraft camper plug

I've got a 1999 Starcraft Galaxy pop-up trailer. Last fall after poking around I found that the wiring for the fridge and charge wire isn't right and the cable to connect the trailer to the truck is missing a few wires. Long story short I am looking for where I can find parts for this thing. The jumper from the 8 pin rectangular plug on the trailer to the truck I can find the plug for. What I need is the male end that will snap into the frame of the trailer like the OEM one. Anyone know where I can find this? Greywolf? Thanks.

Got a Camping World near you? Or any food RV sales store. Lots of dealers have fairly well equipped RV stores. Or Camping World has a web site. www.campingworld.com

Now that I think about it, I do have a Camping World in Rogers, about 10 minutes up the interstate. The only thing is that the 8 pin is somewhat of an oddball. I'll have to take a gander up there. Thanks.

Some OEM stuff is proprietary. Starcraft has quite a bit of stuff that is not handled by mainstream RV distributors. When I work on Starcraft, they used to sell to me at retail. Now they won't sell to me at all and want everything routed through their dealers, which really jacks up the price. If you put up a picture, I'll tell you if it is a standard part.

Chris,

I only count seven pins, am I missing something? This fitting is really weird. I would trace the wire functions and rewire with a standard trailer plug. Shouldn't be too bad.

D'oh! I just saw that too, it could be 8 pins. Tracing the wiring and repairing it is easy, I just need to make a decision on what I want to do for connectors. Thanks for the help.
