It was parked in a storage lot outside about 6 years ago and homeless folks attempted to gain entry. They broke out the window in the 1/2 bath and got inside but couldn't get anything to work. A few of the power bay locks don't work and they got the inverter and all the cables they could. Tried to get the aqua hot running but caused a small electrical fire on its fuse panel when they cut all the power cables. At least they were smart enough to grab the fire extinguisher and get it out before they burned up much. They tried to hotwire it as well. Managed to only take out the High beam switch but never got it running. After that it was moved into a shop where it sat till I bought it. For the price I got it for I knew I'd need about 10-15K to fix it. Even then it's still a deal. I've restored cars and done complete wire harnesses before. I knew it could be done so I took the gamble. The coach only has 118k on it.
I've already run the new 4/0 cables for the inverter. Found where the " new cut lines" went. If I pull them into the next bay forward I can get the spliced with about 4 feet of wire. Then heat shrink them. Should be OK. It was just to late in the day when I discovered it.
Wait till you see the Aqua-hot!!
I'll have to build a new harness for that and grab some thermostats but shouldn't be to bad. At least I can see what and where it all goes.
