Is there a plug adaptor to go from Lance 6 pin/way male cord end to the 7 pin/way female on the truck. Or is there a site to get a wire diagram to splice a Lance compatible 6 way female to the truck's wiring harness?

I preferred to change the 6-pin on my TC to the seven pin. I originally used an adapter, but constantly had to hunt for it when I loaded my TC.
You can buy an adapter from most Auto parts stores, Walmart or RV parts stores. If your TC is wired correctly, should plug right in. "Plug-n-Play"

Be glad you can get the wiring diagram. I had to figure out the wiring the hard way on the Palomino.

...and the reason why I need a DRW to haul a Palomino:

Reddog1: is it a simple change from the 6-in lance to the 7pin?

I have found a 7 pin to 6 pin adapter at AgSouth for 8.99. Is this what I need for plugging a Lance camper into a 7 way?
And I have found a RV Camper trailer plug Y adpater on ebay. It plugs into 7 way outlet at the rear of truck; has a 12" long cord with 7 way to plug into trailer; has a 5 ft long cord with 7 way to go up in truck bed to plug in truck camper. Would this work with the 7 pin to 6 pin adapter and is 5 ft long enough to reach the cord that comes with the Lance camper?
This seems like a reasonable way to go. Total cost would be less than $60 and would seemingly require no splicing into wiring or drilling into truck bed.

If Lance used the industry standard, it should be pretty straight forward. But to be fair, want is simple for some, is difficult for others. Most of the connectors I have seen, have their wiring instructions in the packaging.

That appears to be right. As I previously stated, if Lance is wired to the industry standard, it should simply just be a "Plug-n-Play".

Would this work with the 7 pin to 6 pin adapter and is 5 ft long enough to reach the cord that comes with the Lance camper? This is pretty much what I made up. At about $50 (including shipping), it is about what the parts cost for mine, and is a cleaner setup.

I agree.

Unfortunatley Lance seems to use their own plug that doesn't match up. I have to go pick up a Lance and this is making life harder. I found this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/270648510611?ssPageName=STRK EBIDX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1952.l2649
