Topic: Breaker and fuse panel labels Posted: 14 May 2017 at 8:14am |
We just purchased an r-pod 178 and I noticed blank labels for all the breakers and fuses, except perhaps the main breaker is labeled. But that isn't even clear. Has anyone sussed out what functions each breaker and fuse protects? I think I have the converter, but that is all! Seems odd to me that there is no documentation on the electrical wiring.
Thanks and regards,

Here's what mine looks like, there is lots of dual and triple use on the fuses though.

Here is an image of the distribution box with the blank labels, except for the MAIN breaker. Full resolution image is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/49twnn2dg2k1hst/RP178DistributionBox.JPG?dl=0

Thanks for the photo! Did you make the labels or did your rpod come labeled?

Yours is the first I have seen unlabeled, and I have seen many.... The good thing is, you can reach every component and circuit easy to trace them.. the 30A is of course the main, the 20 is the a/c, after that just flip them to see what cuts off.. one is for the water heater, one for the gfci circuit and probably the fridge, though not always, 1 for the microwave, 1 for the converter, etc

I'm curious what the 30amp fuse is for.

Just email Forest River. I am sure they will mail you out two stickers. They just forgot to put them on.
