The 110vac side of the electrical system in our RV's is really very similar to our residential wiring systems. Power comes in through a single line to a distribution panel which contains a number of circuit breakers. From the breakers it goes out to various parts of the trailer, ending at outlets or appliances. It works the same and you trouble-shoot it the same as you would the power in your home.
ABSOLUTE FACT: Keystone does not provide schematics, wiring diagrams, plumbing diagrams, or any other detailed construction plans of any kind. My advice to folks is to simply accept this and move beyond it. In the case of electrical systems, study them, trace them, figure them out, and make some notes for later use. When I first got the Cougar home, I spent some time determining which outlet or appliance is connect to each circuit breaker. I located every outlet in the trailer and then figured out which ones are downstream from a GFCI.
Places to look for outlets:
- Any compartment or area where the cabinetry is designed for a television. In most rigs, there's one in the entertainment center and another in the master bedroom.
- Any place that you'd expect an outlet to be; kitchen walls, bathroom walls, bedroom walls, living area walls.
- Basements or storage areas. Mine has two in the basement.
- Some rigs have an outside entertainment center in a compartment.
- Pop the lower vent off the outside wall by the fridge. There's one there.
- Many rigs have at least one or more outside outlets.
