FUSE PANEL ????

[mccammonds]

I'm in the middle of installing a new water heater.  One with a auto lighting system.  Need 12v DC.
Found 12v on a green wire that comes up through the floor it  goes to a light on the left of the steps on the inside the coach.  It also goes to a light just out side the outside door.

Had the voltage  there until I was just ready to hook up my water lines.  Thought I better check.

I have no 12v on the incoming green wire.  I have no light over the sink or lights in the bathroom.

Yep! I must have blown a fuse or something.

I have 12v at the water pump,  I have 12v at the over head light a little in front of the table. A 12v on each of the two lights in front of the side windows.

So,   I have some 12v   inside  the  coach!!!!!!!!

Do we have a coach 12v fuse panel somewhere???

HELP!!!!!!

I have a 78 and the 12v fuses are in the 110v breaker panel under my couch.

Thanks,

I still can't find the fuse panel.
I have an AC breaker box in the closet  but I am still looking for the 12v  fuse panel.

I may just run a new line back there from battery.  Make sure I put an  in line fuse and that will solve the problem.

My 78 uses a Progressive Dynamics breaker panel and in the corner of it recessed down about an inch or so is a wiring cavity with the 12V circuits and fuses in it. The 12V part may have had a cover over it at one time but now it's open. Your 75 should have fuses close to your converter, mine is a combo deal. What brand electrical equipment does yours have?

Thanks for the info.

I can't access the converter because I installed a Trojan L-16 HD  6 volt battery on each side of the generator.  Lets me real store up the out put from the solar panels.  I sure never looked to carefully for a fuse panel that I was covering up.

Reckon I'll have to cut a hole into the compartment from under the couch.

Again thanks.

Did you find the fuses? Where are they on your 75?

I have an 821f.    It has a solid piece of plywood under the full length of the couch.

In the morning I plan on taking out the Jig saw and cut a square out of the plywood so I will have access to the converter and "I hope" the 12 volt circuit breaker and/or fuse panel.

My 78 is a 21F also. I think the 78's got a major re-do inside from what I have seen, good luck

Using all the lighting and mirrors I could find I still could not see anything that looked like a fuse panel anywhere around the converter.

Cutting a hole in the 3/4 inch plyboard and sound proofing material under my couch was an option but it also would open that sealed compartment.  Inside I have all that generator noise plus the gasses from the two big L16  Torjan batteries.

So I made a decesion to just run a line with a 15 amp in line fuse from my battery back to the wire suppliing the back of the coach.

It took a while but just a little while ago I turned on the switch on my new water heater and it took a while for the propane to get there and it lit and now I have hot water.   I still need to seal the opening around the flange on the heater and the opening on the rig.  Then mount the original door and then I'll be ready to continue loading up to head south for the winter.

Thanks again for your input.
If anyone does find the fuse panel for  a 1975  821F  please let us know!!!!
