What governs the size of the wire for a camper is the load that the camper draws when fully loaded. If you are referring to a camper as one that is on the back of a truck then the wire should be around #10 to #8 which will give you an ampacity of 30 to 40 amps. Make sure that the proper fuse link is installed in the feeder line on this project. Find the wattage of the devices in the camper and use the following equation. The equation to use is Amps = Watts/Volts.

Can you plug a RV or camper into a gfci receptacle?
Provided that the current required by the RV or camper is less than or equal to 80% of the GFCI rating and you used the right size wire to make the connection you should be okay. If this was to be a permanent installation you should NOT do it this way, but install a dedicated circuit for the application that is sized appropriately. You should also make sure that you follow any instructions for connecting the RV or camper electrical to a power source.
