Wiring in the wall?
I'm planning to call Winnebago about this Monday; but maybe someone knows today.
I'm installing a bigger fire extinguisher on our 2007 Itasca Navion, in the same location as the original pitiful little extinguisher: right inside the coach door, just to the left of the door. The original's bracket is screwed to the outside wall of the RV. Up at switch height, above this location, are several switches: the on/off switch for the step, the porch light, and the inside ceiling lights. Wiring for these switches is buried in the wall.
In order to fit the larger extinguisher, I need to add an angled block of wood, screwed to the wall within about an inch or inch and a half of the location of the screw holes for the original (and to the seatback for the dinette table, but I've already confirmed that's not a problem).
Since the original extinguisher is screwed to the wall below those switches, can I assume that the wiring does not run straight down the wall, and that I can screw through the same general location but an inch or so to one side of that location? Or do I need somehow to trace the wiring?
I've looked through the wiring diagram that Winnebago provides for this RV, but it doesn't address this question - the diagram tends to show where wiring surfaces from inside the walls, but not the route the wire takes in the walls.
