OK.  I'm ready to connect the deep cycle battery to the camper, and converter, but I don't have a schematic.

Does anyone have one that they can send me??

Thanks,

What camper do you have?  Do you know what model converter is installed?

Should be pretty straight forward once you look at the wiring, since there was probably a battery in there before so wires will sort of be laying in the "areas" where they go.

On my '87 Starcraft, the colored wires, some had fuses, go to the battery positive.  The white wires went to battery negative.  I had to confirm where my wires went by following them out under the camper to see that the whites were screwed into the metal frame...so they were the grounds....and the blue, green and orange went to different powered items like interior lighting, the wiring from the tow vehicle, etc.

If you tell us what camper you have someone here will probably know the answer.:)

Thanks all! Found a manual on pop-up portal that showed me what I needed. I have a 1982 Viking, but the wiring in the owner's manual helped explain. Thanks!
