Wiring problems

I'm new here and I am in desperate need of information. I didn't inherit a travel trailer, but I inherited the maintenance on one. The husky puppy seemed to enjoy chewing on the wiring under the left rear corner and now it's my job to fix it.
There are what I believe to be two black plastic tanks under the trailer, each with orange, yellow, and green wires hanging out of them. Are these wires for pumps?
There is a conduit with a bundle of wires in the area containing red, white, black, green, and brown wires. All these are chewed up.
The travel trailer is a Fleetwood Pioneer, built in September 2004. VIN is 1EB1T182956008981. The overall length from hitch to tail lights is about 23 feet. I believe it is a 2005 model year 18T6.
Is there a source for any literature or service manuals?
Wiring diagrams would be fantastic.
Any help in identifying these wires so that I can reconnect them would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Greg

    Generally if you have tanks with Firly fine (Small) wires coming out of 'em those are the level sensors.. And on waste tanks (The black plastic tanks are usually waste) they really are useless after first use so don't worry.

    But they go to an epoxy block called a resistor pack From there one wire goes to your sensor panel. Each tank has its own resistor pack and lead to the sensor panel. ONE sensor lead (usually the black and it is the BOTTOM one) will go to ground. Usually a ground pad on the sensor panel

    And as I said. they basically work.. ONCE.. Now if you have SEE LEVEL sensors (After market produt) That works Period. but the wireing is different.
