   OK, all is good.  Found out on the F-150 you have to put in two fuses   
   for it to get power to the back.  I don't know why they don't do it by   
   default.  Instead, I put the fuse in the Bronco in-line fuse holder on   
   the power wire and it showed voltage at the 6 prong plugin.  At least I   
   know it's all wired correctly and working.   
      
   Now I just gotta figure out the RV on whether or not it has power at the   
   7 prong.  That's that crazy Mercedes shit where it has to "sense" a   
   vehicle before it sends power.  It can wait till tomorrow.
