[VAC] Re: e-wiring



Hi Patti,
I'm currently (pardon the pun) going through the same thing. A couple of
tips for you to do-it-yourself. Get a low-cost volt/ohm meter and a short
piece of wire with alligator clips on the ends. With no power to the trailer
start disconnecting outlet wires. Clip the wire with the clips to both ends
of the loose wires from the outlet and touch the meter set to zero ohms to
one of the disconnected connections in the breaker box. Make sure there is
NO power to the breaker box. In this manner, you can trace all of your 110
volt wiring to see which circuit breaker controls what and also if the
wiring inside the walls isn't shorting out. Also a good idea before you
start disconnecting any wires inside the breaker box is to draw out a wiring
diagram where all of the wires connect. Good luck, If you have any
questions, contact me off list.
