What kind of wiring does an Airstream have?
What kind of wiring does an Airstream have?
Lighting wiring just exited the skin panels through jagged cut holes. Free floating wire splices – the sheathing just crumbled away, and the electrical tape is dried out. The new 110v wiring is 14 gauge (white sheath) and the 12 volt wiring for the lights, water pump and fans is 12 gauge (yellow sheath).
Where are the reading lights on an Airstream?
The curbside with all the 12volt wiring coming together where the DC control panels will be above the fridge. New wiring aft curbside above the bed area for 1 of 2 new reading lights. 1/2″ & 3/4″grommets were used throughout where the wiring penetrated the skin – something Airstream failed to use.
Where are the fuses on a vintage Airstream?
Location is right over the axle. Besides the two group 24 12v Sun Extender AGM batteries, we have the battery switch, 2 80AMP battery fuses, the 12v accessory fuse block, the Progressive DC converter and battery charger, and the Xantrex Pure-Sine 12vto110vAC inverter. LED lights are used throughout.
Can you use grommets on an Airstream trailer?
The sheathing on the wiring has pretty much decomposed, leaving only the vinyl insulation, and Airstream didn’t always use grommets. With this in mind, I undertook rewiring the trailer between the inner and outer skins in preparation for full 12 volt and 110 volt systems.
