You're right, later model RV's "should have" automotive color cables (red (POS) and black (NEG). But then, as we all know, the "black/gray dump valve labels" provide us with a means to always question Keystone's work....

^^^^^That's why I start at the battery on anything.....+ = the positive cable (and color) and - is the negative (and color). Hasn't failed me yet...... Start working on older things and there is no telling what someone may have "hooked up" because it was close at hand.
