Wiring harness

I need to know what function cooresponds to the colored wires in the harness of my 1968 avion c-11 slide in camper..
I have to match the function of the camper wire to that of my harness on my 2003 silverado.

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN DOWN;
yellow-right turn
green-clearance/running lites
black-backup
red-left turn
white-neg
blue plus white wire dual-? positive?

does anyone know if these are correct or not? I can find this info anywhereand about at my wits end..

You can use a battery charger and test each circuit. Clip the black lead to a clean metal spot on the camper. Use the red lead to connect to each of the colored wires one at a time and see what lights up.

There is also a wiring diagram in the manual. You can download it at the Silver Avion site.

wire harness

thanks for the tip using a charger..Cayo Avion in Watervliet, Mich told me to use a battery, but your suggestion sounds safer..if I happen to touch a positive wire will it short out my charger?

to the person who told me that there is a diagram in my manual..I couldnt find it...the only elec diagaram I could find was for the inverter..you would think that they would at least tell you what colored wire was for what function..also I went to the silver avion site and there were several to choose from to look for info I need...thanks also for that suggestion...wish me luck..if by any chance you know where to go to look it up directly, I would appreciate you doint so and then compare to what I find testing each wire individually....

wiring harness

thanks to all who tried to assist me in my quest for info..
I used a battery to test the function of each colored wire and they all turned out according to my original layout...you were great to give me suggestions and am grateful.
