I had my 2023 3500 into the shop because the rear backup camera went black. The service tec tracked it down to a loose connection. A few days later, I picked up my 5th wheel, plugged into the 7 pin and chose 5th wheel gooseneck on the RAM prompt. When I parked the RV and disconnected the 7 pin, the rear back up screen was black again. I tried shutting down the truck and restarting, but it did not work. The following day, the camera worked. Is there a procedure I need to do to tell the truck there is no trailer anymore?

I almost always unplug my 2022 with the truck running and the camera works with no issues.
Choosing 5th wheel only sets the BSM. I never choose 5th wheel because I want BSM to do something regardless if it's accurate or not. It actually does OK but may not with a wide body 5th wheel.
If you unplug the trailer umbilical with the truck running, it's going to throw an error on the dash.
FWIW, my 2020 UC4 with analog AUX1 trailer cam just turns blue just like any other time its not connected. The backup camera is never affected.
Maybe the 23 is different?
