2014 HW277 Electrical Switches

[World Trekker]

Brand new to this forum. I purchased a used 2014 Rockwood HW277 and the owner has done some additional wiring by adding a usb/cig lighter outlet, etc. next to the stereo so things are a bit screwed up. The stereo quit working and upon removing the stereo from the cabinet there are a few unattached wires that I am trying to connect. There are 3 standard equipment switches that are on the cabinet on the left as you enter the door. I'm not certain what they all they are supposed to power on and off. I know the top one is the power for the ceiling lights, I THINK the middle one is for the outside speakers? What is the bottom one supposed to power on and off? IF somebody has created a wiring drawing for this cabinet it would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Post pics as they are usually more helpful than a description.

Thanks for replying to my post for wiring help. I was able to get the neighborhood Mr. Fixit to sort out the wiring problem. Turns out the usb, cig lighter box the previous owner attached was wired incorrectly, and the neighbor was able to re-wire it so the lower switch of the two appears to run only the floor light (he bypassed the usb, cig lighter box). Does that jive with your setup? If not, what else does it power on your rig? On another note, do your electrical outlets have power when you are on battery power only? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

This thread link below is aimed at new RV owners to help them understand the systems in their RV's. The very first link there will help you in understanding what works off of 12 volt DC (battery) and what works off of 120 volt AC (shore power)

I would suggest reading all of the links but especially the very first one about the electrical system, and then the one about "converter/inverter, they are different"

Hope it helps and welcome aboard.

If on battery only 110 outlets, AC and microwave won't work.
If you have a TV and it is a 110 TV it won't work either. Some RVs have 12volt TVs.
Good luck.

Popups generally don't come with tvs.

Didn't see that this was a pop-up. Just trying to answer the question.
