Wiring diagrams don't exist for them. The wiring installation can change from day to day.

One would think FR would want to follow a consistent wiring system for both AC and DC with pre-made harnesses and such as are used in cars, but they seem to prefer to have the wiring in each trailer a bit different with each build.  At times, I wonder if FR hired Lucas Electric (the Prince of Darkness)to design their 12 vdc systems.

I have never heard of anyone having a wiring diagram, the closest you can get is to ask some specific  questions on this forum and maybe someone has already been there and done that.  Be sure to include your rpod model number and year of manufacturing. Just keep in mind that your trailer has 2 separate wiring systems which you have pointed out the 12 volt side and 110 volt side.  The trailer's battery(ies) feed the 12 volt side of the breaker box and the shore power plugin feeds the 110 volt side of the breaker box.  Everything going through the breaker box is either fused or has a breaker and then it is distributed out into the trailer.  The fuse and/or breaker labeling is the only indication of the trailer's wiring.  There are exceptions to this and what comes to mind is the trailer's wiring for the running lights and breaking system and possible an electric awning.  Hope this helps.  And if you are dreaming I hope they're not bad dreams.

Hello Fellow rPoders..............  Ermm

Has anyone attempted to acquire an electrical wiring diagram for their trailer from Forest River.....or anyone else? 

I realize each trailer will likely be wired a little bit differently, i.e., wire location and placement may vary.  But it seems to me that every rPod MODEL should have a basic electrical wiring diagram that shows the basic AC and DC layout based on the options that come with that particular model.  

Am I just dreaming?
