Title: Pre wired
Post by: Skip Molen on October 18, 2005, 05:44:26 PM
Hi I am pretty new to this site I bought my clipper about a month ago and have been doing many projects to it since. This site has been very helpful. Any way my question is are are clippers prewired for a generator and the roof air. I have located a roof air and an onan gen at a pretty good price but I don't know it the wires are already run to the roof for the air. How can I tell?

Thanks
Skip

Welcome aboard, Skip.... hope your Clip gives you years of trouble free use and fun!!

Yep... Clips are prewired for both the genny and roof AC.  If you look inside the door where the "shore power" cord stows, you'll see a 30 amp receptacle.... the genny output is wired to that from the compartment on the other side... you'll see the leads in there.   When you use the genny, just plug the shore-power cord into that receptacle... keeps ya from accidentally being connected.  If you look at your inside fuse panel, you'll see a pair of 15 amp breakers (along with a bank of 12v fuses).   One breaker is for the AC, the other is for everything else.  The wires for the AC fun from that breaker up to the ceiling vent in front of the fridge.  When you take that trim out, you'll see the wires to connect the AC.

Good luck..... enjoy!!   :lol:

Hi Skip and welcome,
All I can do is describe how my Clipper is set up when I bought her.
Has the Onan generator and an electric control box and a fuse panel inside the coach.
the way the generator works is under the dinette seat {left side} where the electric cord is stored for Shore power is a plug-in in a steel box which runs from the generator. when you what to use the generator power-- plug the shore power into this female plug. There is a 110 Volt wire which was ran between the ceiling panels to the rear Vent hole in the roof where the A/C was { I removed my A/C since is wasn't working that good and I was chasing water leaks}. hope this give you some help.
