electrical system

Hello, I couldn't really find an answer so I'm making a new post. Mostly electrical related but this goes along with the coolant heater core.

Hello everyone! I have been doing research for quite some time now and looking forward to 'building' a shuttle bus conversion. FYI, I was a trucker for two years over the road, so living out of a truck I can do - living out of a conversion would be wonderful in comparison!! So, I have no...

Hi, SO my 1969 Overlander's electrical is in working condition and original. It has the UNIVOLT system. I just bought a new 24 deep cycle battery, and have some (not all) wires exposed. From what I can see they appear to still be in good condition. I am not planing to remove all the skins...

This thing is not on the GD website, not listed in parts. I'm pretty sure this is a circuit breaker/ distribution bar. Where can I find out more about it, like the breaker ratings? I'm really hoping not to take it all apart to trace out all my wires.

Has anyone mapped the electrical circuits in their Reflection 315RLTS? Just blew a breaker since the outlet in the kitchen on the shelf over the furnace is on the same circuit as my washer/dryer. Trying to preheat the toaster oven to make a pizza for supper while the washer was running. I would...

We have a new 2019 E21 - there's been no problems for 6 months. Today all 120v power in the trailer quit and I can't find the problem. We have a small 120v space heater that we sometimes use with shore power, it has two settings, 600W and 1500W. I normally set it to 600W if I'm using any...

Heyo! Sean and Nic here from our magic bus! Here we have some pictures of a breaker we have at the rear right of our bus that is receiving from a 220 cable that hangs from the back and directs into 110 outlets that have been installed along the sides. We have access now to solar energy and are...
