Springdale Wiring Diagram?
I have a 2019 Springdale 38fl with under 800 miles which has experienced 4 tire blowouts (more like explosions) on the right side. During one event (right rear) it took out some ground wires. 2 are bare but one is a heavy gauge with black insulation. I reconnected the two bare grounds to the frame however, I can't find where the large one goes. It's grounded to the frame but it goes up inside the flooring and connects to ???? Phone calls to the dealer and keystone have been worthless. I can't believe they don't have schematics/drawings around that show where this thing goes. It's about 3ft long and attaches the the frame just inside of the R/R tire (who the heck though putting unprotected wires there was a good idea?). ANY help would be MUCH appreciated. I also can't get the R/R brake to work, but that's a whole different issue. I inspected the wires yesterday but that about as far as I have gotten on that. Good times! Ugh

Have you figured out why 4 tire failures on one side? Is the electric distribution panel above that wire connected to ground?

No I haven't (tire issue) but my guess is crappy tires. I replaced (upgraded) all four right after the last blowout.
Yes, the fuse box/circuit breaker panel is within reach of the wire and in pretty close proximity of the RR tire. I'm not yet sure on how to access the back of the panel in order to inspect it. Any ideas on how those thinks come out so one can reach the back of it.

The power distribution panel is held in by 4 or 6 squarehead screws. You have to remove the cover first.
Take the hinged cover off first and look for 2 or 4 small Phillips head screws. The cover/frame will come off and you’ll see the screws holding the “box” in.

I would cut the power, both AC and DC, to the panel before removal. You haven't given any indication but if there is a loose wire, or a loose connection and a hot wire comes loose, it might make for some excitement.

Good call. I was fer sher going to cut AC. Didn't think DC would really matter. I thought wrong.

Thank you. I'll check it out today.
Once screws are removed, should it pull out fairly easily?

Depends on how the HUGE bundle of wires is held. I wouldn’t count on it coming out a long ways, but it should come out enough to have a good look see.
