How do I find a wiring diagram for my 1993 Excel 5th wheel travel trailer?

The two 110 v outlets in the kitchen area won't work. The circuit breaker tests OK. One other outlet and two lights on the same circuit work. I have continuity between the ground terminal in the electrical panel and the ground in the outlets but not between the black or white wires ends in the electrical panel and the wire terminals in the outlets. I believe the second kitchen outlet is fed directly from the first. Neither the circuit breaker or the outlets are GFI equipped.

Suggestion. Draw it out on paper,it will be easier to get a picture of where to look.It is not unussual to have the kitchen isolated from other circuits due to the potential use of various appliances. The only outlet not on the inverter would be the one in question(kitchen). So, the layout should be, everything locationnot expected to exceed inverter capacity is dedicated to inverterpower supply.< one Two> Any receptacle that may be subjected toa load outside of inverter limits should be supplied by Generator or shore power. The microwave runs on gen or shore, not inverter.because of available Wattageproduced by rhefirst two.. So, hopefully your art and this info is helpful. _ Enjoy your unitand Good luck. -Ned-

Testimonial: "This circuit coming off of the shore power circuit breaker has the two kitchen outlets, another outlet in the slide-out part on the other side of the trailer and two 110v overhead lights on it. The two lights and the slide-out outlet work but the two kitchen outlets do not. The 12v system from the power converter works fine. There is no inverter system in this unit."

Testimonial: "Excel had no longer had a wiring diagram available for my unit. After tracing the wiring as far as I could without finding the problem I finally just rewired the circuit to the two kitchen outlets. There was also an outside outlet on the same circuit as the kitchen outlets. Rewiring was a pain but the only alternative I had. I also now have the three outlets ground fault interruptor protected. They were not before."

SOURCE: curcuit wiring

Black will normaly go to the breaker on a 110 circuit white is ground and the bare is secoundary ground..You should see this with the cover removed. BE VERY CAREFULL AS THERE IS POWER INSIDE THE BOX AT ALL TIMES AND A WRONG MOVE COULD SEND YOU TO THE UNDERTAKER,EVEN IF YOU TURN OFF THE MAIN BREAKER THERE IS STILL POWER COMING INTO THE BOX THAT COULD KILL YOU...If i were you i might call a friend ta help.

SOURCE: i bought a new GE 20 amp GFCI circuit breaker and

You can buy an inexpensive GFCI tester for as little as $10-$12. A better one with several mv settings will cost you a bit more. This way you can test this circuit and even GFCI receptacles. Then you'll know for sure if your breaker is working.

SOURCE: one half of a 240

The breaker must engage TWO bus bars in the panel, in addition to the a neutral connection. If the breaker is aligned to engage only one of the bus bars, only one of the terminals will be powered at the breaker terminal screw (most likely the top).

Some electrical panels have covers that have numbers and spaces stamped for circuit breakers at the bottom; when in reality, there is no bus bar to connect. Make sure you are not attempting to install into a space that lacks both bus bars.

If unable to get 240 volts out of the breaker without the load wires connected, there may be an issue internally with it. If after connecting the load wires, one side fails again, it may be detecting a ground fault or an over current situation but due to an internal failure is unable to trip both poles of the breaker. This breaker should be replaced.

WE HAVE 110 ON ONLY 1 SIDE OF OUR ALUMASCAPE 5TH WHEEL AND CAN'T LOCATE PROBLEM ANY SUGGESTIONS

There's a broken wire. You'll have to open each receptacle to see if there's a wire off. Look inside the circuit breaker box to see if there is a wire loose on the breaker that controls the side that doesn't work.

How do you locate an inline fuse?

Wiring diagrams are not available as the manufactures to not publish them. There will be a series of circuit breakers that control the slide, jacks and awning. The circuit breakers are small rectangle 12v breakers with a terminal stud on each end. Some are automatic reset and others have a small black button on the side that must be reset. On a motor coach you will find these in a storage compartment and they probably will not be labeled. On travel trailers they will be located near the front of the trailer and often times will be linked together with a copper bus bar. On 5th wheels they will be located in the front storage compartment close to the battery box. Follow the positive lead from the battery back and you should locate them relatively easy. Next, make sure the nuts on the terminals are tight and using a test light make sure that you have power to each terminal on each circuit breaker. If you do not have power to the output side of the breaker then it is bad and will need to be replaced. They are amp rated so make sure you replace the breaker with the proper amp rating. I.e, 30amp or 40amp. In some rare cases the inline circuit breaker for the jacks is relatively close to the jack behind where the switch is mounted.

Try turning them to the off position then on again that should reset the breaker. When they trip sometimes they move so little you can hardly see it.

Wiring issue on a 1965 Roadrunner Travel Trailer

Generic comments follow:

I'm not real clear on what you are asking ... I can almost guarantee you that you will not find a wiring diagram for your trailer.

Your travel trailer operates on 12 V DC. Your frig, the heater, all the lights, radio, all 12 volts. Your running lights should be getting power from the tow vehicle. While towing, the tow vehicle should be charging the battery. You may find some 110 volt lights inside, but probably not. To keep your battery charged, you have 110 Volt AC power coming in. Your frig may run on 110 V AC but it still needs 12 volts for control. Your Air Cond and Microwave and TV (if equipped) will al,so run on 110.

Regarding the three wires from the battery, there should be a battery charger close by your 12 Volt fuse panel. Even though the trailer is a "vehicle" dont depend on using the frame as a ground like you would in a car. So, that accounts for two of the three - a red or black and a white wire. There may be some dedicated line that the battery supplied to account for the third wire.

There should be a emergency breakaway switch on the front of the trailer. This is a switch with a pull pin. If the trailer breaks away, the pin is pulled out by the tow vehicle and the electric brakes should be automatiocally applied to stop the trailer. This switch should be powered, unfused, directly from the traailer battery and go directly to the electric brakes - presuming you have this feature.

Be aware, this trailer power supply was built and designed for a life style far different from that we enjoy today. If you have a 30 amp cord, as I suspect, 30 amps is enough to charge your battery, run your 12 volt items, run a TV and AC or TV and Micro or Micro and AC but not much else. As you are aware, you have two circuits built with #12 and they are probably protected with a 15 amp breaker though the #12 would be protected with 20 amp breaker in a house. The cord is only rated for 30 amps and it may be tired, unless you have replaced it.

I hope I have provided a little insight to your situation. If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.
