What is this green wire for?

I'm starting a new thread to see if anyone can identify for sure what this wire goes to.
Many of us have it in our Georgetown engine fuse panel.
I have emailed Forest River Class A Manager with the pictures to see if he could answer the question.
What is this 15 amp Green Wire for?


Maybe someone here already knows for sure?

Pop out the fuse and see what no longer works. It could be the electric steps, CO detector or something else added by FR that they wanted to run off the engine battery and not off the house bank.

Thanks we had a few people do just that and couldn't find anything that didn't work.

DC water pump?

If you are on campground water you would not know the pump had no power.

Hi Herk,
Good possibility but seems unlikely from the engine battery.
We will check.

You planning on making Goshen again this year?
I'm sure you are. Have fun.
We will miss it this year as we have too much stuff going on.

Not a Georgetown guy, and was hesitant to post. Just had a thought that might not have been thunk of

Yes, if my Axle gets in on time and I get the camper repaired I certainly will be doing my volunteer work.

I had a blowout on the way to Mayberry and a large chunk of tread wrapped around the axle like a winch breaking the torsion suspension. Flagstaff really stepped up to get me a replacement from the manufacturer, but to get it fixed in time I need to drive to the factory to pick it up, hang it in my driveway, and then head back to Goshen.

We have found the correct answer.
Thanks to Kevin at Forest River Class A Manager.

Morning John,
....... That was a good question to start my Monday morning and was a bit of a brain teaser since I have not had that question for a while.
That Green wire and the inline 15amp fuse actually goes to your Fog lights.

I hope all is well and maybe we will see you at another rally down the road.
Safe Travels…..

Thank You,
Kevin Stratton

So the Green wire is a dedicated circuit just for the fog lights.

I thought I had checked all the lights on my coach with the fuse pulled and all worked. I'll check again. Maybe I missed the fog lights while the fuse was out. It is in fact for the fog lights. I just missed looking down when checking the lights and took the fact that the switch was illuminated with the fuse out. My bad.
