Wiring Nightmare

[bellevl]

we have a 1981 Alaskan camper and can not seem to find a manual any where online or that came with it as we bought it in an auction sale...would anyone have one? our other problem is that we can not figure out the 110v wiring... nothing seems to work as far as the outlets or lights, we could really use some help in this department. Thank you

I would call Bryan or Rick at Alaskan and see if they have something they can share.

I rebuilt a '84. The 110v system in the top half is simple stand alone system. Mine had 3 outlets and 2 over head lights. All these items were wire nutted together in the breaker box above the rear door. The system is powered by an extention cord that plugs into the outside drivers side fed outlet.
There is just a single piece of romex going from the line side of the breaker over the door to the outside male connector, nothing is dasiy chained,all the outlets and both lights have their own romex to the breaker box.
Mine is a 8' cabover, but drawings I have seen indicate all were wires similar. The location of the breaker box varied.
There is a sticky thread above that has a crude drawing.

post a couple pictures of the interior...when I picked up my "new to me" CO I couldn't see the breaker box.....it was tucked in the drivers side overhead cabinet all the way forward...

unusual, as all I've seen prior had the box over the back door.

There are several manuals which are "sticky'd" at the top of the page....some have electrical diagrams for different years....maybe one will match
