Hey Triumph,
Since you are a DIY guy, Winnie publishes all of their wiring, plumbing, and electrical diagram right on their website for all of their models... It may be worth a visit to to check out the drawings.

Thanks Duane - that information has been a significant factor in considering Winnebago. I have grown tired of owning coaches where I can't track down part numbers or diagrams. More than a few times I've had to call Forest River or Thor about xyz part and the answer I get is "we can't be sure what's on the coach, can you go out there and pull it and see if you can get some info off of it - dimension etc." I remember I had a slide motor go "bad" on my current 5er. I called to find out what a replacement would cost. They said it depends on the chassis and there was no way to know which one it came off of. Told me to pull it and call back when I had it.
I finally figured out after getting it off of the trailer and through 2 weeks of calls to them and Lippert what I needed to order. (and then when I found out they wanted $700 for it I rebuilt the thing myself and it's been strong ever since).
So next time around I'd sure like to have more information than "we don't know" :) I may never need those diagrams but it sure makes me more comfortable with buying one of those that I know where the plumbing / electrical etc goes...
