2004 Flagstaff AC Wiring

[CameronCalvert]

Hi everyone. I’m new to the forums and I have a question about direction. I just bought a used flagstaff 205 pop up and it’s going to take a little fixing to getting it where I want it. Attached is a picture of the wiring leading to the AC and it definitely doesn’t look like it came that way. Wanted to know your opinion on how to fix it.

From what I can see, it looks like this was a mod job gone array.
On my first P/U, the a/c had a plug mounted to the side wall of the roof and the cord from the a/c ran along the roof and had to be plugged in for the a/c to work. On my current P/U the plug is mounted on the outside of the roof on the side wall and the power cord stored in a well down by the wheel which you plug in for a/c use. From the pic it looks like someone just ran a piece of romex electrical wire. In my opinion, the best option would be to start from scratch and redo the entire wiring job. Weather or not you are capable of this undertaking is up to you or just have a qualified electrican do the job. I believe the current way is not safe for any occupants especially
children. Good Luck

Typical install is some 20amp wire in wire-mold along the ceiling to the roof side.


Then tucked behind trim/curtains running down the side to an installed port that exposes a 20 amp plug on the outside of the camper with a rubber plug/seal. (Picture is 15amp but looks mostly like that)


As described above there is a corresponding port in the bottom half of the unit under where the roof port is that houses a female plug end and cord that is long enough to reach from the bottom to top side port when the roof is raised.
