1971 wiring question

[Krapolla]

Hello,
I bought a 1971 15' hilo last year, and it needed some work, which I have enjoyed doing. The wiring was hacked and cut when I got it, so we just used lanterns and flashlights inside last year, and I put temporary trailer lights on it. I have downloaded the 1971 and 1977 manuals and it it is a good reference, but I was wondering if anyone could take a picture of the battery, pump and fuse box area under the dining seat. This would be extra helpful to get the wires back in the correct spot. The former owner just had a set of jumper cables, hooked directly to the motor to raise and lower it. Thanks in advance, my boys and me love our camper, it fits our puposes perfectly.

Hiya Krapolla!

In the same boat, rebuilding a 1971 14ft, but I believe my wiring is intact, so i will take pictures this weekend, as we are working on the unit, and post them up for you.

The only one currently on this board is here but those aren't very good, and I doubt will be helpful.

I do NOT have internet at home, so I won't be able to post up til next week.

Cheers!
MrC

Sam:

Have you looked in this forum's library? Look at the forum home page, near the bottom for the header that says "Library", then click on the sub-forum that says "Hi Lo Owners Manual". You may not find your exact year listed (but there's a good chance you will). If you don't find your exact year, just pick a close year, the information usually changes very little from year to year.
