Big red pete · 05-25-2018, 09:47 PM

Good evening, I just bought a 1994 vectra motor home and I new it had some problems, so I got it very cheep, but looking at the auto switch, ( gen ,50,30) I found the someone had cut the wires in the auto switch box and direct connect the shore power to the coach, what I need is a picture or directions on the correct wiring so I can connect the gen and 50,30 , auto switch back like it was.. any help would be deeply appreciated. . Thank you

Oh my. That was done for a reason I suspect. Twenty-four year old coach. Be careful.

Hay Larry, the only reason I can come up with is, there is a 50 amp plug (female) next to the gen,50,30, switch box. Eat her there was a problem with the gen, switch box, or I'm thinking they didn't have a 50 amp male plug ( males on both ends of cord.. I checked the switch box and it is in great condition. The 50 amp plug (female) is getting power, so it is working. The problem is I can't get power to basement a system to see if it works.to get air working I have to reconnect the switch box.

Pete--I wish I could help but unfortunately I'm clueless about electrical issues. I would like to recommend that you check out the iRV2 "Vintage RVs" forum... http://www.irv2.com/forums/f65/ . There are a lot of guys there who restore older RVs and have a wealth of information. Good luck to you and keep us updated on your restoration.

Thank you. Someone cut all of the wires and direct wired the box. Why ? Nothing seams to be wrong .generator runs,

Winnebago has the schematics for every model on their website. It was over my head but electrical was on there I believe. Newbie here so might not understand what's wrong accurately.
