Electrical wiring diagram/schematic for 2020 Momentum 376THS
Brian is spot-on about the Electric Plan. You're certainly welcome to request it from GD Customer Service...but it is almost useless. To understand how your trailer is truly wired and what-powers-what, I recommend making your own map by turning off circuit breakers and figuring out what doesn't work. The same process applies to the 12v system, but it's a little harder to accomplish with the fuses in the Power Distribution Panel. The picture below is the map I made of my 315RLTS. The colors correspond to one of the 50A legs and the numbers the circuit breaker on that leg matching the "key" on the right side. (I hope that makes sense.)
For your other question, your Ford tow vehicle provides a low amperage "trickle" charge to the camper. My 2017 F-350 DRW provides a mere 9 amps through the 7 pin connector. (Yes, 9 amps. Pitiful.)
If you follow the 7-pin cable from the plug that connects to your truck to where it originates in your camper it probably terminates in a junction box full of wires. The charge line from the truck (your truck manual or any number of websites have pin diagrams for the 7-pin) is connected in that junction box and may (or may not) go through a 30A self-resetting breaker where it ties to your camper's battery. Some detective work will reveal exactly how your camper is wired--it's not hard to follow the wires.
Note that the wiring may be "live" if your battery is connected and/or shore power is applied! Please use caution with electrical items--even if you're sure of what you're doing.

Thank you, was actually reading these exact posts Will probably wire it through the upfitter switches on My F450 as well. Will require a little more investigation and work but will be worth it. Just in the initial planning stage for a battery and solar upgrade.
Thanks again
