Electrical Wiring Diagrams ???

Hello Fellow rPoders..............  

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.  

See...............that makes no sense to me.  

The problem with having detailed documentation of your product, like a wiring diagram, is that then you would actually have to build them that way. 

+2 to OG  On our recent 30 day trip last month we actually camped at a park with electricity behind Pikes Peak (Mueller State Park).  Long story short, even though I was plugged in, nothing worked on 120, went back to battery, same thing.  Kind of thought this trip was going to be cut short, I was out of ideas, and our slide was out as well.  Fortunately my mechanical engineer brother helped to troubleshoot, and even then the electrical wiring made no sense, color wise on some of the switches, especially the toggle for the slide.  Fortunately when we ordered this 177, back in January 2011 it was ordered without A/C, microwave/convection oven, or entertainment system (we rarely go where there is electricity anyway).  He suggested I take the red wire off the converter (coming from the 120 feed) and put it on one of the open lugs that would have been used for A/C or the convection oven.  I did and everything worked!  Believe me, I was very thankful!  Apparently the circuit must have shorted out on that line.  So if this happens again (hopefully not) there is still 1 more open circuit to attach to.
