This won't make you feel better, but you wouldn't have been able to read it anyway.

X2! And if you COULD read the labels, they would be labeled wrong

This would be assuming every like trailer was wired the same......which I highly doubt. Each one is sort of a "one off" kind of installation it appears......hence the scribbled notations in some ancient language...

Mine are literally blank labels on the AC & DC side!

You would need a Navajo wind talker or an Egyptologists hieroglyphics interpreter to read the incorrectly labeled panel.

Not sure if you spelled it correctly or if the dictionary doesn't publish a definition, but.. there's probably a few "ol' somebodies" around, some maybe just waiting for an excuse to be "cynical".....
As for fuse markings, with this kind of "spaghetti wiring" (maybe from an Italian western ???), it's no wonder that no two are wired the same......

They're all 15 amp except the bottom two on almost every trailer line.

Water pump is one of the many 15A circuits. Odds are the circuit will carry the full load of everything on it. Only way to isolate the Water pump is to turn it on and start pulling fuses.
As far as the spaghetti wiring, it’s in all of them. I had awnings that wouldn’t work, after 5 hours of tracing, cutting, testing etc. I found a screw for the pendant lights over the island kitchen shorted out the circuit in the ceiling.
The one circuit 20A had bedroom lights, compartment lights, ceiling lights in main cabin, rear couch lights, lights over chairs and dinette on slide, 2 awnings. When I put everything back together I used a tester and found with everything on total draw was under 10A. Awning motor drew 6.

If you are changing the pump anyways you could clip + wire at pump and clip a jumper wire into it. Put your meter into ohms and start ringing out fuses. When meter sings you've found your fuse. I have a big long jumper I've built for my meter just for such an occasion.

Whoa...I need to find a bigger chair to hide under! The older I get, the more pronounce my picture becomes in Webster's next to that "word"!
All the best in our surly days!

Seems like the older I get the, less tolerant people around me become.
