Wiring Diagram

Mr.Uncle.Bill · September 2015

I'm restoring the floor of a 2012 T@B U that had water damage. Unfortunately, I didn't take the wiring apart and now I need to put it back together. I've contacted T@B about getting a wiring diagram, but so far no luck. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? I've tried to find it online, but no luck there either.

There may be variations, but this may help. This is from another post.

Are you needing to reconnect both the 12 volt wires and the 110 v a/c wires?

Assuming the wires were not labeled when they were disconnected, you may have to test connect each circuit, one at a time to match up with the listing as per the diagram.

Ultimately its not that complicated. The idea will be matching up each circuit with an appropriate value fuse or breaker to ensure you properly protect each circuit. If you use a fuse that is too big, the wire may burn before the fuse blows. If the fuse is too small, the fuse may blow under normal load.

I do not believe that there is a posted wiring diagram available that can be used as a reference, just because the trailer units change annually and are different from year to year. If you are referring to the electric converter this thread might help you out from the Little Guy forum. Otherwise it's like anything else and will require "trial & error" and testing each individual circuit out, similarly as you do when you are tracing out and trouble shooting house wiring, that can be time consuming, frustrating and troublesome.

If you can hook up to and establish a power source you should be able to figure things out in phases when hooking circuits up or opening up outlets, fixtures, etc. to ensure that the ground wires and hot leads are proper. A good volt meter will help, as will a circuit tester (with light) to trace out wiring.

Keep us posted, take some photos and document your work and share, as this will help out others in the future.

Mike - FYI...That link just takes me to the LG forum page but not the thread itself.

I received an email back from Ed at T@B

Hello Bill,

I'm sorry we don't have any wiring diagrams.

Thanks,

Ed

So this will get interesting. I'll take some pictures tonight and get them up.

Here is what I was dealing with. We bought it used with a squishy floor issue. Turns out it was worse than we imagined.

We took it to an RV place who ripped out the vinyl and the cabinets but then said the water damage was more than they thought and the quote to fix it doubled. We chose to take it home at that point and work on it ourselves.
1. Deconstruction

2. New floor

3. New Vinyl

Bed and Cabinets are in. (I guess I didn't take pictures of that phase)

Now I'm working on the wiring. I think I have it figured out...

My attempt at wiring management...

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5021717/uploads/editor/rg/ssr5homw2fem.jpg

I was stumped here because the circuit diagram #'s didn't mention Black/White wires for the main power.
#1 - Yellow/White
#2 - Orange/White
#3 - Red/White

So where does main power go?

That is until I looked again. 120 VAC Input. It was right there, I guess I'm just tired after all this.

Helps to know which circuit is which

The blue wires coming out of the back of this unit are labeled A, B, C, D, E which corresponds with each function. After that it was a matter of tracing the wires and then crimping them back together.

Quite intimidating when you start with a scrambled mess, but once you place everything out and trace all the lines, it came together pretty well.

The last task is to get the AC unit back in. Updates coming soon.

Makes you wonder how the RV place intended to get everything back together!

mawebb · September 2015

It looks like it's coming together. Nice work on the floor. Hope you got the trailer at a good price to offset all of the work you are having to do.

Finally finished. All the wiring is done and the AC is installed.

Ready to finally go camping! (Pillow came with the trailer when we bought it, an insurance agency owned it)

Mr.Uncle.Bill · October 2015

Put in an LED light strip too.

Nomad · October 2015

Wow - Nice job!

2canoe · October 2015

Excellent. Looks like it was worth all the hours I'm sure you spent.

Bill_in_Tulsa · October 2015

Nice job.....Well done.....

RZRBUG · October 2015

Two thumbs up!

jkjenn · October 2015

Nice work! K bet you saved yourself a pretty penny! Was it hard getting the cabinets out of the door?

Mr.Uncle.Bill · October 2015

Thank you everyone. In the end it was fun to have as a project.

No, the cabinets were easy because you basically dismantle the front plates and remove the supports in pieces. It was the bed that was hard because it fits just so into that space.

Bravo!!! Saaaweet looking refurb and there really isn't any greater satisfaction than pulling something off like this on your own. Just goes to show you that perseverance and hard work do pay off.

Thanks for taking the time to document and share this project via the forum as this is good stuff and will help others down the road.

Well done!

I must "ditto" what Mike and the others have said. You and this project - simply A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Thank you again for the progress picts and the final detail pictures.

*hugs*

Bill_in_Tulsa · October 2015

What a Fantastic "Rebuild you have done." You love what you do, and it shows in every detail.... Job Well done.... thanks for sharing.
