Those are resettable fuses. They're kinda like circuit breakers. If they're manually resettable they'll have a small button on one end.

The picture doesn't show where the wires go, but the end with the metal bar jumper should be the battery end (most likely the big red cable) and the other ends go to other equipment (converter, jacks, etc.).

I can't tell which wire is hooked to which terminal, but it's most likely for landing gear or such.

Do you have a remote for the RV equipment?

no remotes, i'll look tonight and check if it goes to tongue jack, just noticed it last night when i got home. the break away cable was gone after hitting tire recap, but what worries me was the trailer breaks didnt activate, got to do checking before we go back out. i assume the break away switch get power from main trailer battery not like my car trailer and has one built into switch.

That could be for the breakaway, but it's odd that they put a relay in the circuit.

I'd be concerned that they didn't activate as well. It could have snapped the cable off the pin and the pin (or part of it) may still be in there.

Thanks for coming back and letting us know what you found. Especially about the relay being for the tank heaters. And about the breakaway switch too.

It'd be a good idea for everyone to periodically pull test the breakaway switch to make sure it works properly.

Note that the way this is hooked up... everything coming off of the right side is NOT protected so any kind of short over there means melted wires and smoke. That includes the green wire and the black on the bottom.

The big red going left is likely your house 12V supply to the inside power/fuse panel.

I had a mess like this but using a single breaker on the frame under the front end on my 2604WS with added lines for each of the two slides and the power hitch :-P

It is not there anymore :-)
