Help deciphering 12V fuse panel labels

Attached is a picture of my 12V fuse panel label. Trying to figure out what 2 and 7 are. 1 is Bath, 3 KIT ( kitchen), 4 LIV ( living), 5 FURN (furnace), and 6 W/H (water heater). 2 looks like it also starts with a B and 7 looks like R something X (maybe?).

I would expect the water pump to have its own circuit. Maybe it's on 8 or 9, which aren't labeled, or maybe they are unused circuits. I'll run the pump later and check with the multimeter.

Started out looking for a phantom draw. Got .21 amps on the kitchen circuit, which is consistent with what Dometic told me the frame heater on the fridge draws. Also have .04 amps on 7, the carbon monoxide/LP detector I'm guessing.

Thanks in advance.

Cavie,

Yes, see pic of entire panel attached. AC schedule is on the left, DC is on the right. But it's a fair question given the close up I posted earlier. Thanks.

Radio makes sense for 7 given the .04 amp constant draw, and that's two for BED on 2, which also makes sense given the other "room" labels. As soon as I find my fuse puller I'll post my findings. It's NOT in the box of electrical adapters and supplies. I now have a vague recollection of loaning it last summer. Thanks everyone.

Keith

Pair of needle nose players works great for pulling those small fuses. Also good to put back in.

Turn off the refer and that should turn the frame heater off. I have seen some with a switch for the door frame heater. Don't need it in low humidity areas.

Typical Forest River, and close only counts in Horseshoes. I just pulled all my 12V blade fuses and installed each one individually to learn first hand what they did or did not power in my coach and corrected my fuse labels so I know what is what with no guesswork.

Looks like mine!


They must have had a "bring your child to work day" when the labels were made. I have a few that look like it was written in a foreign language.

Don't know why they don't use small printed labels that say BED, BATH, RADIO, etc. Just put them on wherever needed and we could all read them.
