I've been in the same situations most of you have been in and believe me just having wiring installed is a well engineered loom is just as bad as wiring being loosely bundled together. Don't get me wrong, I love the thoughts employed by Winnie in most things but a 2' diameter loom carefully and tightly wrapped can be a major problem when it is so tightly run and tightly bound you can't move it.
Another thing that is difficult in trouble shooting Winnie wiring is that almost all the wires used are Yellow or White. The least they could do is use different colors for battery supplied 12 volt lines , ignition ON another and ignition Off For Start another color. Speaker and other media wiring should also be a different set of colors.
When wiring a residence, we always labeled each breaker specifically. Not just outlets, but baseboard outlets in living room or GFCI protected for Kitchen. Out Bounder didn't label any of the CBs, Winnie at least labels the breakers by use. I don't even want to mention OEM fuses much less the add on fuses under the dash or in the engine compartment.
