Hi, hope someone can give me an idea what's going on with my ol' Dodge pickup truck.

It has a slide in camper in it and the truck turn signals are wired to the camper's tailights.

The right rear turn signal is suddenly hardly working. When I turn on the headlights and give a right turn signal, it's really slow to work, sluggish. The bulbs in the light housing appear to be good. The filament looks to be intact. What could cause that?

It sounds like either a bad ground or the flasher needs replacded. I would start by making sure the ground is good.
