Cleaned up the electical side.
Did some clean up of the electrical side of the coach today. Sorry to say that my dealer was also guilty of sloppy work. The extra wire for the Xantrex switch was weaved in and out of other wires and pipes and the rest was just thrown into the compartment. Several more feet of inverter, as well as TV, cable than necessary was also just left to chance. Did what I could do to coil it out of the way. Rerouted the heat vent that goes to the bedroom as it was squashed between the converter and the wall and went threw the wiring and water pipes. Glad I saved the 6 inch piece that I cut off the other side. Water hose to the outside sprayer was almost 3 feet longer than needed and coiled in and out of wires. Cut and relocated that. Vacuum hose to the storage bay was a couple of feet longer than need, and did a big snaky loop in the compartment, the wires were more than that. Shortened both and and tied them up out of way of the rest of the electrics. Also noted that the vacuum wast not vented to the outside. Not sure what would happen if a bag broke. All that dust into the electrical works is not something that I would cherish. My friends Jayco is vented to the outside. Will vent it out to the storage bay when I find the fittings. Not much I could do with the wiring to the beaker panel. I think Landmark must use the same wiring harness for all the coaches. There had to be at least 50 or more feet of wiring than needed. I could had straightened out some wayward water lines but it would be purely for aesthetes and decided "don't ask, don't tell" at that time. When I got done I was somewhat satisfied but would have like to have done more. I am sure everything would work they way it was, but thats not my neat and tidy way. Feel a lot better about the inside workings now!
