Electrical Wiring Diagram

The problem is as i see it after 40+ years as an electrical/electronic technician for small and larger corporations is the Manufactures of RV still think there products don't need support after sale and that there above the reset of the industries that produce a product that has electrical interconnections. There excuse which is really getting old is that there just like a house which you don't get a schematic when you purchase, that true but my house doesn't go down roads and subjected to all sorts of abuses.
I have created two books of associated systems for my RV the only think i'm missing is a wire diagram, which I will more then likely reverse engineer to come up with.

Our trailer's manual comes with several schematics which are very helpful in seeing how it all works, but you don't get a wiring layout for your actual trailer, so it is a complete mystery what routes the wires take behind the walls and in the ceiling.

Here is one of their drawings (which I have scribbled on) from the manual as an example:

actually that is very much like the diagram auto mfg and 3rd parties like chilton provide

they give colors , numbers, connectors

NOT routing

Well after I replied that I was "disappointed" in Jayco's response and that I though it was a necessity for troubleshooting they finally sent me a copy.

I guess their "policy" was not very firm. ;)

thats good news

Here, I like to introduce Electrical Wiring Diagram. It is the most important feature in electrical service.

A wiring diagram is a basic conservative graphic symbol of an electrical circuit. It shows the machinery of the circuit as basic shapes, and the power and connections between the devices.

What this gentleman from New Zealand is referring to is what we in the the States call a "schematic diagram".

I would suspect that the gentleman from New Zealand is more like a spammer, signed up today and first post looks like an advertisement. If you look at the profile has his website name which is the same as his forum name...

Not to mention Cameron86 is looking rather suspicious, 6 posts and all pushing the hitchanything website..

Hi Gdetrailer,

Whenever I have question or Found any interesting answer, I will be log in rv.net to solve out my question. I have honestly doing participation here. I don't like to use fake name in forum(as many people doing)..Icon Electrical is my business and I did registration for that name. My name is Medah Dragh and I am owner of this business.

I hope, this introduction is enough for my introduction.

To date I have not had to work on the electrical system of my 5er. If I need to though I have the skills needed to chase down the issue and fix it. The factory labeled my circuit breakers and fuses to give me a starting point. But I am not like most owners.

As you probably realized, the diagram is just that. It does not show where and how the wiring is routed. It shows from 1 point to another and the color code and wire size. Doug

"Is that what you did with yours?"

"No. I went from the bathroom light with white I think".

Obviously you have never really seen a RV electrical station or been there at an RV assembly plant. I HAVE and worked in the RV plants. They ALWAYS have the correct size/Color and all for running the wiring. I have also been to the plants for training and have seen professional wiring done. It is NOT rocket science. Very simple to do. Doug
