Need wiring diagram and help
We recently bought a 2008 National Tropical 33'. I am trying to fix a problem with the electrical outlets. I need an electrical diagram showing the 120 wiring and outlets.
There are 2 breakers that control 120 outlets. One is for bath, dinette and galley. They all work. The other says Bedroom GFI 3. The three in the bedroom do not work. Neither do the 2 for the TV's, the passenger seat outlet or the the outlet on the dash (with a GFI reset.)
Right after we got it home I pressed the button to connect the inverter and the outlet on the dash caught fire. It apparently had been replaced before. The inverter does work properly.
Here is what I checked
I checked every other outlet in the RV to see if there was another GFI circuit or others that were out.
I checked for power coming out of the breaker (yes) then for continuity between the breaker and all of the outlets that did not work.(no). I checked for continuity between the dead outlets and another breaker to see if they might be on another breaker. (no)
I pulled all of the outlets from the wall and checked to see if they were connected properly.(yes)
I checked for continuity between the dead outlets to see if they were connected to each other. (they are)
I think that perhaps there is a wire loose or burnt somewhere under the RV. It is possible that it happened when the dashboard GFI outlet caught fire. Or possibly the dashboard outlet was a separate problem.Not sure.
If this was in our house or older RV I would follow the wire from the breaker where it goes through the floor and find out where it is not connected and then repair any problem areas but on this RV all wires are inside black corrugated tubes and those are often encased in black foam. There are so many cables that go through the floor that there is now way to even start looking. If I had a diagram I could at least know where to look. Is there a place to get those things?
Thanks
