Re: 2005 Jayco 5th wheel battery connection

Thanks, I just didn't feel like crawling all over trying to trace the cable since it goes into the wall inside the battery box and the the underbelly is sealed. I thought someone here would know and save me the trouble. I will probably use my multi-meter in the morning and check for the ground that way.390Views0likes0Comments2005 Jayco 5th wheel battery connection
My alzheimers is kicking my butt lately. I stored the camper last fall and pulled the battery out. Today I went out and had a brain fart as to what cable goes to which post. One cable is white and has a loop end with a red collar around the crimped end of the connecter. The other cables are a pair of black colored cables spliced into a green colored fused piece that connects to the battery. Common sense says that green would be ground and normally black cable is ground on a 12 volt system. I also assumed the cable with the red end would be positive. Well that's the way I hooked it and as soon as I touched the cable to the terminal I got sparks and blew the fuse. Anybody with a similar 2005 Jayco 5er with the same set up? Thanks in advance for helping out a brain dead weekend warrior...2.7KViews0likes8CommentsRe: 6 week trip itinerary - but I have some specific questions
I agree with others that you are close enough to the eastern states and should skip those attractions on this trip and focus on seeing as much as you can out west. The Moab/Arches NP area is spectacular as are the other southern parks in Utah. Having deadlines kills a trip so try to loosen up on the schedule. You may get somewhere and not like it and get tom another spot and want to spend more time. Have fun and relax! Safe travels!762Views0likes0CommentsRe: Crazy Horse Monument
Hot days and cool nights up there. It's an inspiring place. Been there a few times while out at the Sturgis rally. Cost $5.00 to get in on the scooter while Mt. Rushmore was $11.00. I know that they had some campers working the gates. I would consider working there after retirement. http://crazyhorsememorial.org/employment-information/506Views0likes0Comments
