Hook up for camper and horse trailer

I need to haul my 9 ½ foot Lance camper and pull a horse trailer at the same time. Does Dodge have a place by the cab to wire in a plug receptacle for the camper?

No, DC does not provide camper wiring. I took mine to the Lance dealer for that.

Make sure you install a battery isolator on the 12v+ hot lead to the camper.

Otherwise the camper may drain the trucks' starting battery!

Also, considering the length of the camper, you might need a hitch extension; unless your trailer has a long tongue on it.

That is on my list. I am going to build a hitch like a Tork Lift. If you want a hitch with a long stinger take a look at these babies. I'm on my way to the Line-X shop to pick up my truck now. Just had it put in.
