Hello all, looking at different RV’s Pleasure way has Multiplex wiring and I was wonder what does that do for you? What is the advantage? Thanks KC

Multiplex is great...as long as everything is working....when some particular function goes bad,you may even find the repair very simple - just replace the affected unit or controller. The bad part is the price of that part.
I have seen things like a ground short causing the controller to go bad. When there is a fault, the controller cuts off that item for a time, then back on -- it see's it's still shorted and cuts it out again -- sort of like a computerized automatic resetting circuit breaker. This is supposed to protect the system, but I have seen it fry the controller when left un-corrected for too long. The controller is very expensive.
