Wiring for my new Hawk Shell

[mhjackson123]

The label was staring me in the face! However tonight is the first time I have seen it! Now that I have seen it, I can't believe I have missed it. My Hawk only has 6 slots, so 7 and 8 are irrelevant.
I have no idea where #1 Green Flood Lts goes, as there is a wire coming of the fuse box but I do not have flood lights.

Correct. Green wire. #1 slot 15 amps is rear flood lights. Its the green wire that's coiled up in the fuse box. I dont have flood lights from fwc either. But I am installing some using that wire and fuse.

If you peel off the interior trim at the back of the camper you will find the green wire ready to be used for your floods.

Sweet. Does that mean the coiled green wire in the fuse box is for running to a switch?

Unlikely. This is what I saw - this section of wall is at the top of the fridge area, back wall.

My camper had a switch for the porch light just inside the door. That's where I found the other end of the green wire, for use on a switch there as well.

this is the wire i need to find this weekend. adding a rigid flood light on drivers rear wall. hoping to use existing fuse and wire. and i have a spare switch

and the coiled green wire in fuse box is a junction of wires. not floods as vic mentioned. i need to open that wall this weekend.

Can you take a pic of this "coiled green wire"?

I have a picture of it in post #13. Several green wires and one yellow one.

since I have the same exact model and year hawk as you I will take pics during my install this week. installing a hidden 2x6 access panel on rear wall, and 1 single rv flood light from rigid industries. exact opposite location from the porch light. using existing pre-ran green wire, 15 amp fuse and fuse slot. wired to a spare switch in my bass pro power panel.

Have you uncoiled those wires to take a better look? Seems like I see a fuse on the yellow wire, and that the green wires are all made common by those junction blocks?

I checked those wires last night. they become live once you place a 15a fuse in the port for flood lights. they are the junction for both flood lights. the yellow is either for porch light or a second porch light. I forget. because there is already a 5a fuse in place for the ceiling lights. maybe yellow 5a is for the second ceiling light. I will chase that wire next just for info.

correction, ceiling is 7.5, porch is 10a. not sure what that yellow 5a fuse/wire is for. will chase it during the weekend weather permitted.

done, pulling wall from under lift panel was no fun. green wire went into a panel. but was a dead end. way different than older models. i took pics. installed a rigid flood rv light where fwc puts the their floods. very nice install area on the inside with a good ground. hooked up to my basspro shops power panel and the fwc fuse block into the #1 flood position with 15a fuse. works perfect. lights up my trailer for loading and unloading at night.

Hi Tree

On my 2012 Hawk shell the green wire with 5 amp inline fuse is for running lights.

I seen those. there are 2 sets of green wires in the hawk. light green and dark green. don't let the shades fool you. mine starts dark at the fuse block, and goes to a junction for both floods. found the dead end for one side. was lighter green. used it with no issues. I stayed clear of the running light circuit.
