I was told by the camper store you don't wire the RV like a house. He was supposed to speak with the RV place and that was over a week ago. I am still waiting to hear back from the electrican. This glitch has not slowed me down because I am still doing other projects.
Check out the pics. I had access to a real good camera so I took advantage of it and took some pics. I have both my vista windows in now. converter box is wired except the hard wire. drain pipes are in except for a few odds and ends. I put staples on the top part of the floor with the butt plate underneath. I have the new shades in and my wife is pretty much done with the curtains.Getting closer and Closer.

Brian,
Do you have a copy of the 120 volt wiring diagram for you unit? If not I would be happy to scan the one I have and email it to you. The wiring for the 120 power is very simple. There is a main box with a 30 amp main breaker and two 20 amp branch circuit breakers. One of the 20 amp circuits goes only to the AC unit and the other one goes to everything else including the charger.
The service manual that I have has diagrams for all the 1973 models. The 120 circuit is essentially the same for all of them. The differences are primarily in where each part is located.
What do you have there now? Do you need an entirely new 120 volt box and circuit breakers or is there an existing panel? I found a very simple box at Home Depot that was about 4" x 6" or so that enough space for the 30 amp main and at least the two 20 amp branch breakers. If you like I can try to take a photo of the unit that I am talking about so you can see what I mean.
Just let me know...
