Nice work, motorpig! That was a great idea to include a voltmeter. I'll have to investigate "Kydex". I'd never heard of it.

Wow! Good catch, Gary! I would not have thought of possibly activating the wrong switch. I haven't really looked, but I don't think my hot water gas switch turns on the light at all (unless it fails...

Jim, no good ideas at all. That circuit is fused, and if it's blown, you wouldn't get the click and brief "On" light. Possibly, the switch itself (or the connection(s) to it) is/are faulty? I...

Yup! I love the word "kludge". I taught programming for 20 years. It's commonly used to describe "awkward" code that fixes some earlier fault.

But, it certainly applies to almost any ugly repair...

Looks to me like the previous owner kind of created a "kludge". Not a good thing in my opinion. He's wired in TWO SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) switches in a way that simulates a single SPDT...

Yes, Rick, I think it does. The gray wire coming from the left terminal on CB-1 has an inline fuse in it on the way to the power jack. Since the battery feed also attaches to that post, the circuit...

A Corrected Circuit Breaker Wiring Diagram

OK, this is correct (at least for my trailer) and should work for any other trailer with similar components. The only changes in the wiring I can find are at the two circuit breakers in the battery...

You are totally right. That was actually fixed in my trailer too, but I didn't mention it in my last post. There is a short 8 Gauge black wire in the diagram running from the left terminal of CB-1 to...

Interesting, Rich. My trailer has that wire connected to the RIGHT terminal, as is the black 10 gauge wire to the tongue lift motor (through an inline fuse). But, the black 10 gauge battery charging...

Well, that's where the Master Switch and the Lift Switch are supposed to be. The lift switch in my trailer is white and is spring loaded to the center (neutral) position. The Master Switch is black...

So, the former owner removed the Master Switch. That's not good. It keeps the top from being lowered if anyone is inside. And it helps to keep power from being delivered to anything but the...

Yes, you certainly could. If you decide to simply leave it in place, which might not be a bad idea if you can't find the problem, I'd use 10 gauge wire.

I think the white wire from your converter...

It appears, to me, that there is one single input to the fuse block and that is the single large gauge red wire that attaches to the right side in the upper picture. If you put your multimeter in the...

Motorpig, my fuses are under the couch, near the fridge. But, the location seems to be all over the place in these campers. I would have thought yours would have been near your converter.

Looks like you're making progress!

But, if you don't have interior lights or other 12V items with just the battery, I don't think you are going to get them by hooking the trailer to a tow vehicle....

I agree with Rick, that's the second 30A circuit breaker. Since there's no wire at all to the other post, it's not being used as a breaker at all.

Without knowing how the rest of your wiring has...

Motorpig, I responded to your "top lowering" thread and it appears you have no 12V power in your trailer. The lights, radio, water pump, etc. are ALL 12V devices. They WILL not work off 120V. The...
