Re: [VAL] Caravel Charging Line



Bob,
The charge wire comes through the tow vehicle plug and into the 
Airstream.  From there it should go to a fuse.  After the fuse it will 
go to the battery.  I would expect the tow vehicle also has a fuse on 
the line..  When the wire goes through a wall, it should have a grommet.
