I got it hooked up the issue is camper wiring and auto wiring are very different black is a ground in auto industry and in camper wiring it is power on the 110 side I just cut the cord off and wired it in to the wires that was there and the green wire went to a ground.
The difference in color coding is: auto industry wiring is mostly low voltage 12vdc. In camper wiring, we are dealing with both low voltage 12vdc and 110vac. Industry standard, in fact NEC (National Electrical Code) dictates how recreational vehicles should be wired...and hot wire (black), white (neutral) and green (ground or bonding) must be adhered to. Recreational vehicles that have 240/120 wiring are required to conform with the NEC.The strictly low voltage in auto industry use red for positive and black for negative ground which is standard in electronics and automotive products. There is no uniformity however, unlike the 120vac. Splicing the wires is no different from plugging it in, because they are both power input.
