1989 Fleetwood Prowler. What is this power switch/box?

Be very careful with this...There should have been this label somewhere on that box.....

:D

but seriously, I have no problem permanently leaving this line "out of commision" and tucked away....but I would certainly like to know what it is for. It may go to something that I would want to be in use?? For all I know, this is why the furnace blower is not turning on..?? (just got this TT as my first TT....checking it out and making repairs/renovations/upgrades one system at a time...)

A women just posted n here all day he manuals from a 1989 prowler do a search

simple enough to check your "postulation" about the furnace / fan. Get a meter and check to see whether the wiring ends up at the furnace.

Jarata, that was me that made copies of my manuals and uploaded them. I don't see this switchbox in the electrical schematics.

Budwich, thanks for the advice. I will be getting to the furnace in a week or two. For now, I am focused on finishing the bedroom renovation (including "power center" remodel/upgrades)...so it would be great for now just to know what this switched wire goes to. :)

I had a 1991 Prowler and I never saw a box like that on mine. I wonder if it was something a previous owner added then kept when they sold it.?. I'd have to plug the camper in and put a meter on those wires and see what's coming out.

BTW, we had some good times in that old camper. It was heavy but, a decent camper.

I have a 92 Prowler and it looks like my Hot water heater electric element control box. I do not know why it would be in the bedroom though. Mine was attached to the side of the water heater, but looks just like your picture and had several coils inside. Yours has what looks like 120V wires leading in which is also like my water heater control.

On my 5er there is a regular wall switch labeled Microwave in the up position and Hot water in the down position, on the wall in the kitchen. That is so you cannot run the microwave and the hot water electric element at the same time.

The little switch on the box next to the heater was always in the "on" position.

Hope this helps some.

I will definitely look into this. My water heater is located exactly right there by this cord and the TT fusebox. The heater is a atwood g6a-7 (propane only, from what I can tell). Maybe this went to a previous water heater? The water connections to the heater are in the floor/background of the pics I provided above.
