[VAC] Re: '58 Overlander Electric Brake Wiring



Greetings all,

The fuses, fuse block, and wiring in my coach all look fine, so I'm
going to keep it, and the cigar box full of fuses that I inherited from
the previous owner. FWIW, I actually have 8-10 circuits (sorry, going by
memory) on the fuse block. There are two rows of 4 or 5 fuses each. It
looks like they're 15 amps per circuit, and I'll keep it that way. I
don't intend on adding AC or an electric water heater to the coach.

It turns out that 120V bulbs only work in one of the sockets in both of
the overhead lights, so I guess I have a 12V outlet in each of them. One
of these days soon, I'll take the access panel apart (again), and see if
I can track these down. I hope I can find a source of 12V bulbs that
will fit into a standard, screw in, 120V type of light socket.

Thanks to everyone for the advice regarding the wiring and fuse block in
my coach, and thank you RJ for recommending 'Managing 12 volts', it's on
the way. :)
