	The glass fuses are still there for the trailer towing lights. I could not find the blde style fuse holder locally so I picked up the glass holder at radio shack to get us by for the weekend trip. I also installed main (water tight)fuses right off of the battery in the battery compartment. Now that the season is over, it is time to begin floor repairs! Nate

	You must have exercised each circuit so let me ask you this? What is circuit 5, 6, 7, 8, and I think 9 which is listed in the manual? Don't have manual in front of me, so guessing on the numbers? I get it- the towing circuits.

	Circuits 5,6,7,8, 9 are the typical lighting and poser circuits. Circuits 10,11 are add on poser circuits for under cabinet, cupboard, and closet lighting. Each door his switched so when the door opens a light goes on inside the space. Really helps out.

	I've learned a lot and I've ordered some parts and replaced the old with new. But I have a question. The fuse block with 9 positions has only 4 holes for the negative.(bought from best Rv if anybody cares). I have 8 wires. Can't double up because the holes are to small or the wires are to big. Any suggestions?

	Your installation looks fantastic although I would suggest you wrap the wires at the holes in the skin or install rubber grommets so the wires don't fray with all of the bouncing around, they will surely wear through. Hopefully you'll be able to do this without too much trouble. Brad FF
