electrical wiring diagrams

[Tasfixit1961]

Hi All
new to the forum, just purchased a 2003 Coachmen Santara and am looking for wiring diagrams for my rig. called Coachmen and was informed that they changed ownership in 2010 and that they do not have any service information available from before 2010. I was hoping that someone might have these diagrams to share
Thanks Todd

Google appears to have failed. If you click on the images, none of them are actually for the 03 Santera.

Keep in mind that an electrical diagram or schematic diagram shows what devices are connected to what other devices. But they do not show the order of wiring or the routing. They may show wire color. Better than nothing of course.

A wiring diagram is a manufacturing drawing showing the specific order in which multiple devices are wired together, with wire colors, wire gages, and in a perfect world the actual wire routing, and in a fantasy world wire numbers matching numbered sleeves on the wires. Those last two things are not going to happen on an RV. And probably none of the other.

Wiring diagrams and paint codes pretty hard to get on rv's sometimes.

Yeah, there are no wiring diagrams. Are you having a particular issue, or just hoping to have info available when needed?

Sounds like a weak excuse. Not likely they would buy a company and not acquire all documentation of previous years. And likely as not, if you ask for wiring diagrams for a newer model they would not have that either. They probably simple do not exist. Many RVs are wired without any diagrams, by the people doing the assembly, in a manner that works best for them. And that may vary by the person doing it or even the same person on a different day.
