Post Wiring help

Hi all, I am back again wondering if anyone has the coach wiring diagram for a 2008 Berkshire 360QS. I have sent FR 3 emails in the last2 weeks and no one is replying. I guess if you need or want something you have to drive right up to the factory. I haven't tried phoning yet, afraid I will get put on hold or have to leave a message and wait forever for someone to get back to me. The FR website isn't worth a S--T when it comes to older coaches. I know Fleetwood and Winnebago have information links for older coaches on their websites. Sorry for the rant, I hope someone can help me out.

I used the website and used the contact page. I never sent them to anyone in specific, but there were 2 service reps listed on the page. Is there anyone in particular that you have dealt with and was helpful? Thanks Dan.

Yes. You could email Randy Houser (rhouser@forestriverinc.com) or Mitch Wirt (mwirt@forestriverinc.com). They are both at the factory and handle customer service. I would start with Mitch.

You won't get a wiring diagram, they don't exist.
Unless for the chassis.

On my 2011 Berk there are fuses above the inverter. Have you checked those?

ceedog, I haven't looked there as I thought all the fuses were in the front compartment on the drivers side. I will check there once the rain stops. Thanks

I agree with bikendan wiring diagrams for the coach do not exist. Many people over the years have tried and failed at securing them FR says they do not exist (of course this could be like the IRS emails here). A wiring diagram for the chassis only you will be able to find from the maker of the chassis.

Yeah, wiring diagrams are out but I think there has to be a cable installation drawing. There may be several for the independent panels or one overall depicting routing and so forth dependent on model. However; If there are such drawings we, at our level, will never see them.

Absolutely correct....... Even the guys that build these coaches have no idea where the electric wiring and/or cables are in a particular unit. That's because no two are EXACTLY the same.

If I'm doing plumbing while my buddy is doing electrical work where I usually put my plumbing, I just move a little bit and install my plumbing somewhere else. There is NO standardization whatsoever.

I think that sux, but it's apparently how the entire industry works. Think about a sticks-n-bricks home; once they hang the drywall, you can only GUESS where the wiring and plumbing might be.

Boowho??

dreamin533: There is two wirings for your motorhome; the Freightliner chassis wiring and then the FR cabin wiring. Things like the headlights, marker lights, taillights and dash are Freightliner.

Daimler, the parent of Freightliner has a website where you can look up every chassis part and schematics for the Freightliner chassis. The schematics are not wiring diagrams and are difficult to correlate to physical locations.

You need to join the website and once logged-in, you enter the last six digits of your VIN. It then will have everything related to your particular chassis.

Its website is:
www.AccessFreightliner.com

They are transitioning to a new website soon, at:
www.dtnaconnect.com

I wish that FR has something like that for the cabin.
